Another woman spoke about "too many difficulties" just trying to continue her education after the Taliban takeover.In November, the authorities banned women from parks in the capital Kabul, claiming Islamic laws were not being followed there.And so while many Afghans might have expected that sooner or later this decision would be taken, it still comes as a shock.Off the record, some Taliban members have repeatedly said they are hopeful and working to try and ensure girls get an education.Girls were allowed to sit for graduation exams for secondary schools two weeks ago, in 31 of Afghanistan's 34 provinces, even though they haven't been allowed to be in school for more than a year."
