Women have now been banned from attending their nursing and midwifery courses at university.

Female patients are only allowed to be attended to by a female unless accompanied by their male escort. This means that thousands of women will now be giving birth by themselves if they can't find a midwife, which are already in short supply. Afghanistan has the highest rate of maternal mortality in the world.

One direction this could go in (following on from the classical allusions the Taliban are likely unaware of) is simply to make women property. That is slaves.

We still have the "be your own slaveowner" starter kits in English, if they need them. On display in the US.

The hardest part of that will be to decide a stable exchange rate.

Good news for slaves, is if you are valuable, you will get looked after. No one likes wasting money.

Again, I acknowledge this is probably not an appropriate tone. It's hard to know how to deal with horror sometimes.

There could be ways for foreign governments to link up with economic development in a non corrupt way that could stabilise things maybe? https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/11/6/afghan-opium-cultivation-bouncing-back-amid-taliban-clampdown

And this - they could help the various small resistance groups https://www.chathamhouse.org/publications/the-world-today/2023-08/scattered-forces-opposing-taliban-need-support-now

To what do you refer? This allusion has gone over my head.
