Years after the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, female students continue to face strict bans barring them from attending secondary schools and universities across the country. Deprived students state that these ongoing restrictions have severely derailed their personal aspirations and future paths.
According to accounts shared with Zarin TV by students barred from classrooms, the policies enforced by the Taliban government have largely confined women to their homes, forcing thousands of young girls to abandon their textbooks.
The affected students emphasized that the closure of educational institutions has blocked them from entering higher education and pursuing professional careers as doctors, engineers, educators, and artists, causing them to lose critical years in isolation.
The prohibition on girls' education beyond the sixth grade and the subsequent closure of university doors to female students followed the political transition in Afghanistan, drawing sustained domestic criticism and global concern.
Students highlighted that their primary struggle is the complete pause in their personal development and the loss of youth during years of educational standstill, while many families continue to hope for the reopening of schools.
Despite the mounting obstacles, these young women state that they refuse to surrender to despair and remain committed to finding ways toward self-reliance and continuing their learning.
