Good news for US troops, bad news for Afghan women
President Biden is bringing the troops back from Afghanistan.  They have a deal with the Taliban.  That seems good for the USA.  The Taliban are an extreme Islamic group with guns.  They do not recognise women’s rights.  They do not allow women to have education.  The Taliban have been fighting for 20 years and they control many parts of the country.  In those parts, it is not safe for women to go to work or college.  Young women are trying to finish their studies as fast as possible.  They think the Taliban will take over.
