UN Women has announced that Afghanistan is the only country in the world where girls are banned from attending school, with millions of girls deprived of educational opportunities due to existing restrictions.
On Saturday, March 7, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, the organization stated that the deprivation of girls in Afghanistan from education threatens their future and that this situation should not be normalized.
UN Women added that there is currently not a single girl receiving an education in secondary schools across Afghanistan.
The organization stated, “Do not normalize this. Change is still possible if we refuse to accept a world in which their futures are destroyed.”
This comes as, in the more than four years since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, girls have been barred from higher education, and the doors of schools and universities have remained closed to them to this day.
