The Taliban have used a water cannon to disperse a group of women protesting against the ban on female students in Afghanistan attending university.
Videos on social media showed the women taking cover in a lane in the city of Herat to escape a powerful stream of water.
Dozens of women holding a protest march could be heard shouting slogans including: “Education is our right”.
In one clip, women could be heard shouting: “The Taliban are cowards.”
