Afghan Girl Disguised as Boy to Support Family Under Taliban Rule

Taliban restrictions on women have forced some Afghan girls into desperate choices, including disguising themselves as boys to work and support their families

Nooria, a 13-year-old Afghan girl, appears in a video in which she says she disguised herself as a boy to work and support her mother and sisters under Taliban restrictions on women. Credit: Learning Together.

By External Source
KABUL, May 19 2026 – Nooria is a young girl who, because of poverty and the absence of a man in her family, had to dress in boys’ clothes so she could work and feed her family. It was not a choice, it was survival. But she was eventually caught by the Taliban.

A widely circulated video on social media in early February 2026 shows part of Nooria’s story, though the exact date of the footage is not clear. Many people online believe it was recorded and published recently. From what is said in the video, it appears that Nooria had been wearing boys’ clothes for about four years, which suggests she may have been doing so since the beginning of Taliban rule in Afghanistan.

During questioning, the thirteen-year-old is treated like a criminal, not a child. The Taliban officer keeps asking her whether her clothes and her hair are those of a woman or a man. Each time, she answers in a quiet and pleading voice. She says she had no choice. She says she did it for her mother and her sisters, so she could work and support them, because they had no one else.

Since they regained power in 2021, the Taliban have banned women from participating in the labour market and confined them to the home.

In the video, Nooria repeatedly stresses that she had no choice. She had to wear men’s clothes and work in order to feed her mother and sisters. Yet the Taliban officer keeps pressing her with the same questions: “are you a man or a woman, and who do your clothes and hair resemble?”

Here is a portion of the video conversation, originally recorded in Pashto, with a Dari translation. Nooria sits in a dark corner, her face innocent and very vulnerable. A Taliban officer behind the camera shines a harsh light on her and questions her in an intimidating tone. Throughout the conversation, Nooria tries to make him understand that she is acting out of necessity.

 

Taliban: What is your name? Tell me your name.
Nooria: Nooria.
Taliba: Is Nooria your real name?
Nooria: Yes.
Taliban: Which province are you from?
Nooria: I am from Ghor province.
Taliban: Which district?
Nooria: From Nad Ali district.
Taliban: Where exactly in Nad Ali?
Noria: I am from Zarghun.
Taliban: By what name are you known around here?
Nooria: The people in the market call me Noor Ahmad.
Taliban: Are you wearing men’s clothes?
Nooria: Yes.
Taliban: Are you a man or a woman right now? Explain your situation in your own words.
Nooria: I am a woman, but I wear these men’s clothes out of necessity. I wear them because I must, to enable me work and provide for mother and my sisters. I have no one else to fall on for help. I had to wear this shirt out of necessity and for survival.
Taliban: How long have you been working in the café?
Nooria: It has been three years.
Taliban: Three years? Whom do you work with?
Nooria: With Hikmatullah.
Taliban: How much does Hikmatullah give you per month?
Nooria: At first, he used to give me seven thousand afghanis (USD109.48). But later, I asked him to help me with a little more because it was not enough. He added three thousand, so now it is ten thousand(USD156.40). For the past eight months, he has been giving me ten thousand and that includes his help.
Taliban: Okay, so these clothes you are wearing, are they men’s or women’s?
Nooria: Right now, they are men’s. I wear them because I have to, out of necessity.
Taliban: Look at your hair. Is this the hair of a man or a woman? Take a look yourself—is it man’s or woman’s?
Nooria: I have no one except God. I did this not out of desire but out of necessity. My father has passed away.

In this forced confession video, Nooria says she is thirteen years old and does not know who reported her to the Taliban or why. She explains that she acted only to save her life and feed her mother and sisters.

The video of Nooria’s forced confession went viral on social media, drawing widespread reactions from users across multiple platforms.

Gulchehra Yaftali, a women’s rights activist, shared Noria’s photo on her personal page and wrote: “This image is a blatant crime. A girl has been forced to hide her female identity for over three years to work under the terrorist and misogynistic Taliban regime, just to keep her fatherless family from going hungry. By denying women access to education, work, and public life, the Taliban have pushed them into the shadows and taken away their right to live with dignity.”

It was not the first time a girl in Afghanistan had to disguise herself in boys’ clothes out of necessity. During the first Taliban regime, many households without men resorted to dressing their daughters as boys so they could leave the house safely, have a male guardian, and work to support their families. Even in the current Taliban regime Nooria is not the only girl forced to take this step to protect her family and survive.

Despite my efforts, I was unable to interview Nooria’s relatives or acquaintances. In most cases involving the Taliban, people are too afraid to speak and do not want to risk talking to the media.

In spite of that, I still managed to talk with Noorullah (not her real name), a resident of Ghor province, who gave me the background story of Nooria and her family.

According to her, after Nooria’s mother lost her husband, she left Nad Ali village with her daughters and moved to Ghor. Since they were not well known in that locality, they could not find a male guardian. She therefore had to dress her daughter as a boy and send her to work in the market.

Initially, her daughter Nooria worked in a dairy shop, and later went to work at Hikmatullah’s restaurant.

“Hikmatullah was a good man”, Noorullah says. “He would give Nooria a ride home on his motorcycle in the evening, and whenever he took his own children to school, he would also bring her along on the way to the restaurant.”

I could not get any comments from the Taliban because in most cases involving women, they do not comment to the media. Repeated attempts to obtain comment are often met with silence.

Nooria says at the end of the video confession that Hikmatullah, the restaurant owner for whom she worked, did not know she was a girl. It remains unclear what the Taliban may have done to him, I was not able to find any information about his situation.

It is also not known what happened to Nooria after the video was released. Many human rights activists and social media users believe the Taliban may have forced her into marriage, as was done during their previous rule. However, despite all efforts, no one has been able to find any information about her current situation.

Meanwhile, a number of Taliban critics, women’s rights activists, former government officials, human rights advocates, and social media users have condemned this action, calling it inappropriate. They point out that the Taliban once carried out suicide attacks disguised in women’s clothing. But now, when a girl wears men’s clothes simply to protect and support her family out of necessity, because of restrictions imposed by the Taliban, they respond with such appalling treatment.

Risen Pharma Announces Initiation of Phase 2 Clinical Trial of RP902 for Mild Cognitive Impairment Due to Alzheimer’s Disease

SHANGHAI, May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Risen Pharma, a clinical-stage biotech company focusing on the development and commercialization of high-need, patient-accessible therapeutics, today announced the initiation of a Phase 2 clinical study in China of RP902, an oral small-molecule drug developed to address significant unmet medical needs in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

The Phase 2 clinical trial is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RP902 in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer’s Disease. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale–Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) score.

The study is co-led by Professor Yi Tang from Xuanwu Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, and Professor Yongjun Wang from Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting cognition and daily functioning. In China, the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease among people aged 65 and above has reached 6.0%, with approximately 1 in every 17 individuals affected1, highlighting a significant unmet need for therapies with improved efficacy, safety, and patient adherence.

About RP902
RP902 is an oral small-molecule drug for AD, targeting patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease who are apolipoprotein E ε4 (ApoE ε4) carriers, with the potential to become a first-in-class disease-modifying therapy. ApoE ε4 carriers typically experience earlier disease onset and faster progression, with limited treatment options currently available.

Preclinical studies of RP902 have demonstrated it significantly inhibits neurotoxic Aβ oligomers and improves cognitive function. RP902 has completed Phase 1 clinical trials with favorable safety and tolerability and has initiated Phase 2 clinical studies (NCT07579884).

Compared with existing therapies, RP902 has the potential to delay disease progression, with a favorable safety profile and the convenience of oral administration, offering a differentiated treatment option for Alzheimer's disease patients carrying the ApoE ε4 allele.

Bitget Lança Programa UEX Jumpstart com Recompensas de 430 Mil USDT

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, a maior Universal Exchange (UEX) do mundo, lançou o Programa UEX Jumpstart, uma iniciativa de integração de vários produtos com um total de prêmios de 430.000 USDT em futuros de criptomoedas, metais preciosos, ações e CFDs.

Com funcionamento de maio a junho, o programa foi criado para apresentar novos usuários ao ecossistema de múltiplos ativos em expansão da Bitget, reunindo atividades em quatro grandes linhas de produtos sob uma estrutura unificada. Em vez de se concentrar em uma única categoria de ativos, a iniciativa viabiliza que os usuários explorem diferentes mercados enquanto se familiarizam com a forma como o comportamento de negociação está se movendo cada vez mais entre as classes de ativos.

Esse lançamento ocorre com a diversificação da atividade de negociação global. No início deste ano, a Bitget informou que os ativos não cripto representaram até 40% do volume total de negociações durante o primeiro trimestre de 2026, impulsionados em grande parte pelas commodities e pelos produtos do mercado tradicional. Mais recentemente, as negociações em CFDs na plataforma ultrapassaram US$ 8 bilhões em volume diário de negociações, com o ouro responsável por 95% do crescimento incremental, uma indicação do aumento da participação dos usuários para além dos mercados de criptomoedas.

“Todo mundo gosta da diversificação hoje em dia”, disse Gracy Chen, CEO da Bitget. “Quem busca Bitcoins hoje em dia também pode buscar ouro, ações ou eventos macroeconômicos amanhã. O UEX Jumpstart realmente ajuda os usuários a explorar essas oportunidades em um ecossistema de negociação de vários ativos.”

O Programa UEX Jumpstart está estruturado em torno de quatro pontos de entrada no mercado, introduzindo os usuários gradativamente a diferentes segmentos do ecossistema Bitget.

Os usuários que entram através do Stock WeeklyJackpot podem explorar os produtos de ações perpétuas da Bitget com um pool de recompensas de 100.000 USDT, com incentivos que variam de cartões de negociação com taxa zero vitalícia a recompensas vinculadas a ações globais, como Tesla e NVIDIA. A campanha foi desenvolvida para apresentar aos usuários produtos de negociação vinculados a ações dentro do ambiente da UEX.

Para os usuários interessados em oportunidades macroeconômicas, o CFD May Carnival proporciona acesso a contratos vinculados a mercados financeiros mais amplos por meio de uma premiação total de 100.000 USDT. Os participantes que finalizarem as atividades de integração recebem recompensas garantidas enquanto progridem em tarefas adicionais que revelam incentivos maiores.

O programa também introduz os usuários à negociação de commodities por meio da Metals & Commodities Futures Promotion, apoiada por uma premiação de 60.000 USDT focada no ouro em produtos vinculados a commodities, incluindo prêmios denominados em XAUT (Tether Gold).

A etapa final da experiência é o Futures Rush, a maior trilha do programa com recompensas mensais de 170.000 USDT. Estruturada como um sistema de desafio progressivo, a campanha orienta os usuários através de atividades de negociação de futuros cada vez mais avançadas com recompensas, incluindo BTC, ETH, XAUT e outros ativos digitais.

As quatro campanhas abrem um caminho de integração guiado entre criptomoedas, ações, commodities e derivativos, refletindo como o modelo de Exchange Universal da Bitget reúne mercados tradicionalmente separados em um ambiente de negociação. Com a expansão da Bitget para ações, commodities, negociação baseada em IA e ativos tokenizados, iniciativas como UEX Jumpstart refletem uma mudança mais ampla em direção a exchanges desenvolvidas em torno da descoberta de oportunidades, em vez de silos de mercado.

Sobre a Bitget

Bitget é a maior Universal Exchange (UEX) do mundo, atendendo a mais de 125 milhões de usuários com acesso a mais de 2 milhões de tokens de criptomoedas, mais de 100 ações tokenizadas, ETFs, commodities, FX e metais preciosos como ouro. O ecossistema está comprometido em ajudar os usuários a negociar de forma mais inteligente com seu agente de IA sendo o copiloto para executar ordens de trade. A Bitget está impulsionando a adoção de criptomoedas por meio de parcerias estratégicas com a LALIGA e MotoGP™. Alinhada com sua estratégia de impacto global, a Bitget se uniu à UNICEF em apoio ao ensino de blockchain para 1,1 milhão de pessoas até 2027. A Bitget atualmente lidera o mercado de TradFi tokenizado, fornecendo as taxas mais baixas do setor e a maior liquidez em 150 regiões em todo o mundo.

Bitget lance le programme UEX Jumpstart doté de 430 000 USDT de récompenses

VICTORIA, Seychelles, 19 mai 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, la plus grande bourse universelle (ou UEX, de l’anglais Universal Exchange) au monde, a lancé le programme UEX Jumpstart. Cette initiative d’intégration multi-produits offre une cagnotte totale de 430 000 USDT sur les marchés des contrats à terme sur cryptos, des métaux précieux, des actions et des CFD.

Ce programme, qui se déroulera de mai à juin, vise à familiariser les nouveaux utilisateurs avec l’écosystème multi-actifs en pleine expansion de Bitget en regroupant dans un cadre unifié les activités de quatre grandes gammes de produits. Plutôt que de se concentrer sur une seule catégorie d’actifs, l’initiative permet aux utilisateurs d’explorer différents marchés tout en se familiarisant avec la façon dont le comportement de trading évolue de plus en plus entre les différentes classes d’actifs.

Ce lancement intervient alors que l’activité de trading mondiale continue de se diversifier. Plus tôt cette année, Bitget a signalé que les actifs non cryptographiques représentaient jusqu’à 40 % du volume total des transactions au premier trimestre 2026, en grande partie tirés par les matières premières et les produits du marché traditionnel. Plus récemment, l’activité CFD de la plateforme a dépassé les 8 milliards de dollars en volume de transactions quotidiennes, l’or représentant 95 % de la croissance supplémentaire, une évolution qui met en évidence la participation croissante des utilisateurs au-delà des marchés cryptographiques.

« En ce moment, tout le monde s’intéresse à la diversification », a déclaré Gracy Chen, PDG de Bitget. « Une personne qui s’intéresse au Bitcoin aujourd’hui peut tout aussi bien surveiller l’or, les actions ou les événements macroéconomiques demain. UEX Jumpstart vise réellement à aider les utilisateurs à explorer ces opportunités au sein d’un écosystème de trading multi-actifs. »

Structuré autour de quatre points d’entrée sur le marché, le programme UEX Jumpstart présente aux utilisateurs différents segments de l’écosystème Bitget de manière progressive.

Les utilisateurs qui participent via le Stock Weekly Jackpot peuvent explorer les produits perpétuels sur actions de Bitget avec un pool de récompenses doté de 100 000 USDT et comprenant des incitations allant de cartes de trading sans frais à vie à des récompenses liées à des actions internationales telles que Tesla et NVIDIA. Cette campagne vise à faire découvrir aux utilisateurs des produits de trading liés aux actions au sein de l’environnement UEX.

Pour les utilisateurs intéressés par des opportunités macroéconomiques, le CFD May Carnival ouvre l’accès à des contrats liés aux grands marchés financiers via une cagnotte de 100 000 USDT. Les participants ayant finalisé les activités d’intégration reçoivent des récompenses garanties tandis que leur progression dans des tâches supplémentaires débloque des incitations plus importantes.

Le programme présente également aux utilisateurs le trading de matières premières via la promotion sur les contrats à terme sur les métaux et les matières premières, soutenue par un pool de récompenses de 60 000 USDT centré sur l’or et les produits liés aux matières premières, y compris des prix libellés en XAUT (Tether Gold).

L’expérience se poursuit avec Futures Rush, la principale composante du programme, dotée d’un pool de récompenses mensuelles de 170 000 USDT. Structurée comme un système de défis progressifs, la campagne guide les utilisateurs à travers des activités de trading de contrats à terme de plus en plus avancées avec des récompenses incluant des BTC, des ETH, des XAUT ainsi que d’autres actifs numériques.

Ensemble, ces quatre campagnes créent un parcours d’intégration guidé pour les cryptomonnaies, les actions, les matières premières et les produits dérivés, et reflètent parfaitement la manière dont le modèle de bourse universelle de Bitget rassemble des marchés traditionnellement distincts au sein d’un seul et même environnement de trading. Alors que Bitget poursuit son développement dans les actions, les matières premières, le trading assisté par l’IA et les actifs tokenisés, des initiatives telles que UEX Jumpstart traduisent une évolution plus large vers des bourses centrées sur la découverte d’opportunités plutôt que sur des marchés cloisonnés.

À propos de Bitget

Bitget est la première bourse universelle (UEX) du monde. Au service de plus de 125 millions d’utilisateurs, elle donne accès à plus de 2 millions de jetons crypto et à plus de 100 actions tokenisées, ETF, matières premières, devises et métaux précieux comme l’or. L’écosystème s’engage à aider les utilisateurs à trader plus intelligemment grâce à son agent IA qui copilote l’exécution des transactions. Bitget entend promouvoir l’adoption des cryptomonnaies grâce à des partenariats stratégiques conclus avec LALIGA et MotoGP™. En accord avec sa stratégie d’impact mondial, Bitget s’est associée à l’UNICEF pour soutenir la formation à la blockchain auprès de 1,1 million de personnes d’ici à 2027. Actuellement leader du marché de la finance traditionnelle tokenisée, Bitget propose les frais les plus bas du secteur et la liquidité la plus élevée dans plus de 150 régions à travers le monde.

Cementation and Terra Nova Technologies Announce Conclusion of Strategic Ownership Transition

NORTH BAY, Ontario, May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The strategic ownership transition of Cementation and Terra Nova Technologies (TNT) has been concluded, strengthening their position for continued growth and ongoing delivery of high-quality mining solutions across their global operations. The new ownership structure places the group on a far stronger footing, backed by substantial capital support from major institutional investors with a clear long-term strategic focus.

The process, which began in June 2025, establishes a new ownership structure that supports collaboration and synergies between Cementation Americas, Cementation Africa, and TNT while preserving their distinct operations and reinforcing a shared commitment to safety, innovation, performance, and project execution. The group continues to value the support of its clients and people, especially during this transition, and remains well-placed to serve leading mining houses while being a leading employer of skilled talent in the mining industry.

“This conclusion of the transition marks an important step forward for Cementation,” said Japie du Plessis, Managing Director at Cementation Africa. “It sharpens our focus, reinforces our competitiveness, and enhances our capacity to grow with our clients by expanding both the depth of our expertise and our operational capabilities.”

The new structure drives a more focused approach to underground mining services while improving alignment across engineering, construction, and operations. Together, this enables consistent project outcomes and optimized production performance for clients. Operations will continue without disruption, with no changes to project teams, client relationships, or project commitments.

“This development advances how we operate across our regions while preserving the strengths of each business,” said Eric Smith, Managing Director at Cementation Americas. “With our people at the center of everything we do, it allows us to drive greater consistency in meeting client needs, while advancing collaboration and providing greater value to our partners through a more connected and consistently high-performing organization.”

The new ownership structure also supports the growth of Terra Nova Technologies in reliable and cost-effective material handling products and systems for mining projects.

“Being a key part of this redefined structure allows us to expand our innovative crushing, conveying and stacking products as well as our full EPC capabilities while working closely with our Cementation partners to create greater value for our clients,” said Steve Kou, Managing Director of Terra Nova Technologies. “There is a strong foundation to build on and a real sense of momentum in how we move forward together. We are well equipped to deliver smarter, more efficient and more sustainable solutions.”

Backed by long-term capital investments, Cementation and TNT are advancing technical capabilities and increasing capacity to meet growing demand driven by critical minerals and global infrastructure development.

The companies remain focused on providing value-added solutions across the full lifecycle of mining projects, with an emphasis on safety, operational excellence, and long-standing partnerships.

Cementation and TNT extend their appreciation to Differential Capital for its support throughout this transition. The companies also recognize Red Inc. for its contribution to this process.

Cementation et Terra Nova Technologies annoncent la conclusion de leur transition stratégique de propriété

NORTH BAY, Ontario, 19 mai 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — La transition stratégique de propriété de Cementation et Terra Nova Technologies (TNT) a été conclue, renforçant leur position vers une croissance continue et une fourniture continue de solutions minières de haute qualité à travers leurs activités internationales. La nouvelle structure de propriété place le groupe dans une position beaucoup plus résiliente, soutenue par un important apport de capitaux de la part d’investisseurs institutionnels majeurs ayant une vision stratégique claire à long terme.

Ce processus, entamé en juin 2025, établit une nouvelle structure de propriété qui soutient la collaboration et les synergies entre Cementation Americas, Cementation Africa et TNT tout en préservant leurs activités distinctes et en renforçant un engagement commun envers la sécurité, l’innovation, le rendement et l’exécution des projets. Le groupe continue d’accorder une grande importance au soutien de ses clients et de son personnel, en particulier durant cette transition, et demeure bien positionné pour servir les principales sociétés minières tout en étant un employeur de premier plan de talents qualifiés dans l’industrie minière.

« Cette conclusion de la transition marque une étape importante pour Cementation, a déclaré Japie du Plessis, directeur général de Cementation Africa. Cela nous permet de mieux cibler nos efforts, de renforcer notre compétitivité et d’accroître notre capacité à évoluer avec nos clients en approfondissant notre expertise et en développant nos capacités opérationnelles. »

La nouvelle structure favorise une approche plus ciblée des services miniers souterrains tout en améliorant l’harmonisation entre l’ingénierie, la construction et l’exploitation. Ensemble, ces éléments permettent d’obtenir des résultats de projet cohérents et un rendement de production optimisé pour les clients. Les activités se poursuivront sans interruption, sans modification des équipes de projet, des relations avec les clients ni des engagements relatifs aux projets.

« Cette évolution fait progresser notre façon d’opérer dans toutes nos régions tout en préservant les atouts de chaque activité, a déclaré Eric Smith, directeur général de Cementation Americas. En plaçant nos collaborateurs au cœur de tout ce que nous faisons, nous sommes en mesure de répondre plus efficacement aux besoins de nos clients, tout en favorisant la collaboration et en apportant une plus grande valeur ajoutée à nos partenaires grâce à une organisation plus connectée et plus performante. »

La nouvelle structure de propriété soutient également la croissance de Terra Nova Technologies dans le domaine des produits et systèmes de manutention de matériaux fiables et rentables pour les projets miniers.

« Le fait de jouer un rôle clé dans cette structure redéfinie nous permet de développer nos produits innovants de concassage, de transport et d’empilage, ainsi que nos capacités complètes d’ingénierie, d’approvisionnement et de construction (IAC), tout en travaillant en étroite collaboration avec nos partenaires de Cementation afin de créer une plus grande valeur pour nos clients, a déclaré Steve Kou, directeur général de Terra Nova Technologies. Il existe des bases solides sur lesquelles construire et un véritable élan dans la manière dont nous avançons ensemble. Nous sommes bien équipés pour fournir des solutions plus intelligentes, plus efficaces et plus durables. »

Soutenues par des investissements de capitaux à long terme, Cementation et TNT développent leurs capacités techniques et augmentent leurs capacités de production afin de répondre à la demande croissante liée aux minéraux critiques et au développement des infrastructures mondiales.

Les entreprises restent concentrées sur la fourniture de solutions à valeur ajoutée tout au long du cycle de vie des projets miniers, en mettant l’accent sur la sécurité, l’excellence opérationnelle et les partenariats de longue date.
