Taliban For Women's Rights? Education, Employment In Afghanistan Touted By Militant Faction

A splinter group of the Taliban in Afghanistan has come out in support of women's rights, suggesting that under Islamic Law women and men have an equal right to be educated and gain employment. The group is symptomatic of a Taliban that has lost its identity after the loss of its long-time supreme leader Mohammad Omar, who has been dead for two years. Many from the group have joined the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, while others had opted for a more moderate approach.
