Violence reportedly breaks out as Afghan women braved the Taliban-controlled streets of Kabul on Saturday to demand equal rights
A small group of Afghan women braved the Taliban-controlled streets of Kabul once more on Saturday to demand equal rights and the ability to participate in government, CNN has confirmed.
In a bold public challenge to the militant group's rule, female activists have staged at least three small demonstrations across the country in the past week. Footage shared by Afghan news network TOLO news Saturday showed a confrontation between Taliban guards and some of the women. In the video, a man on a megaphone is heard telling the small crowd"we will pass your message to the elders." His voice appears to be calm.
