A group of Afghan women staged a rally in Kabul demanding the inclusion of females in the country’s new government headed by the Taliban, according to a media report. Friday’s rally came a day after a similar one was staged in Herat amid the Taliban trying to form a new government following their complete takeover of the country last month, said the TOLO news report.

The Taliban, who are yet to decide on female leadership roles, have already said that women can work in government institutions, but not in higher-ranking positions.  During the rally in Kabul, the participants demanded the Taliban and the international community preserve women’s achievements in Afghanistan in the last two decades and respect their political, social, and economic rights.
