The ongoing women-led protest in Kabul took a violent turn on Saturday after the Taliabn stopped their way to the presidential palace and lobbed tear gas on them, according to Local news. One woman was reportedly injured during the protest.

In a video  the woman, identified as Rabia Sadat, could be seen with a bleeding forehead. Other videos showed the Taliban fighters stopping the protest march by women in Kabul.

This is the third straight day when Afghan women have taken to the streets in the country. Bearing placards and raising slogans, the Afghan women demanded that they be allowed to pursue education and hold jobs.

While Afghan women have also pressed for rights such as representation in administration and electoral rights, education remains their primary concern.
