A classroom that previously was used for girls sits empty in Kabul, Afghanistan, Thursday, Dec. 22. The country's Taliban rulers earlier this week ordered women nationwide to stop attending private and public universities effective immediately and until further notice. They have banned girls from middle school and high school, barred women from most fields of employment and ordered them to wear head-to-toe clothing in public. Women are also banned from parks and gyms.2/10
