The founder continued: "Although the library had already suspended operations for two months due to all the restrictions and pressure from the Taliban, but today, it’s officially closed."
Since the Taliban's takeover of power in Afghanistan, the government has been tightening rules on women and depriving females of accessing their basic rights such as education and work.
