See also: Treatment of women by the Taliban. In August 2021, following the Fall of Kabul, Abdul Baqi became acting Higher Education Minister. He stated that women had the right to study but that women students would study in separate classrooms to men students.
in August 2023, Abdul Baqi criticized the government for its lack of access toward women in work and education. He remarked: "The problems should be solved. The government can be preserved through universities not through seminaries. The universities should become standard. The rights of women to education should be provided". He also stated: "Women can work in various aspects, and if we cannot provide the grounds for it, it is our failure".[1]
In 2012, Abdul Baqi was listed for sanctions by the European Union on the grounds of his administrative role in the Islamic Emirate, for "anti-government military activities" in 2003, and for "organising militant activities" in 2009.
