塔利班要求阿富汗大學執行「性別隔離」　Taliban asks Afghan universities to segregate students by gender　

After the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan, they promised they would not prevent women from being educated or working; however, they are now asking most women not to work until “the security situation improves.”

In addition, universities in Afghanistan are being asked to segregate students by gender. They have also announced a new dress code for female students.

This policy marks a major change since the Taliban takeover. For the past two decades, universities in Afghanistan have been co-educational, with men and women studying side by side.

友善讓你懂｜解說：

　
塔利班取得阿富汗控制權後，曾承諾不會禁止女性接受教育或工作；但是，他們現在卻要求絕大多數女性在「安全局勢改善」之前不要出外工作。

不只如此，阿富汗的大學也被要求得對學生進行「性別隔離」，還宣布了女學生的新服裝規定。

這項政策標誌塔利班接管以來的重大變化。因為在過去二十年裡，阿富汗的大學都是採取男女同校，男學生和女學生可以並肩學習。

輕鬆帶著走｜學習：

　
segregate 單就意思來看，指的是「分開、隔離」；但該詞彙在歐美文化歷史上非常重要，指的是「以性別、種族等與生俱來因素而進行隔離並差別對待」，例如：美國歷史上曾存在黑人與白人得分開生活的「種族隔離」政策，英文就是 racial segregation。

例句： In the 1930s, blacks were segregated from whites by law. 在1930年代，當時法律規定黑人必須與白人隔離。
