Women in large groups, covered by layers of black veils, filled an auditorium at Kabul University's education center on Saturday, celebrating the victory of the Taliban. The speakers launched an attack on the Afghan women who took to streets in Kabul demanding equal rights, calling them ‘agents of America’.

The women held a brief march waving placards, slamming ‘the women who left’. Their placards read they are ‘satisfied with attitude and behavior of Mujahedeen's’

In the weeks following the Taliban takeover, women have held multiple protests for their rights and there were reports that these gatherings were broken up violently by Taliban fighters. Two men were reportedly killed last week when Taliban opened fire on a women’s rights protest in the western city of Herat.
