Activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai has said she is “devastated” but “not shocked” at the Taliban's ban of female students from attending university in Afghanistan.

She urged world leaders to respond and take the move “seriously” and added women in the country are being “erased”.

The Taliban have arrested five women taking part in a protest against the ban, in the capital Kabul, and three journalists were also reportedly arrested.
