The American special representative for Afghan women’s affairs has mentioned the beginning of the school year without the presence of girls as a bitter and unpleasant reality and states that the Taliban’s discriminatory behavior against Afghan women keeps them in poverty and dependency.
Rina Amiri has stated that the world emphasizes the Taliban’s desire to lift the ban on girls’ education.
In a message published on the X social network, Rina Amiri on the fourth day of this year states that the continued ban on education for Afghan women and girls shows the destruction of the capacity of at least 50% of the Afghan population.
Amiri reiterates that these bans and restrictions that hinder the way of Afghan women will lead to a greater dependence of Afghanistan on international aid and an increase in forced migration.
With the arrival of the third academic year in Afghanistan, the school bell rang without the presence of girls above the sixth grade. Despite repeated world pressures on the Taliban to lift the ban on women’s education and employment, this group sticks to its position.
The beginning of the school year without the presence of girls has again provoked an international reaction. Amnesty International has also asked the Taliban to reopen girls’ schools and avoid continuing the ban on girls’ education.
The Office of the UN Deputy Mission in Afghanistan has also condemned the ban on girls’ education as something unjustified and harmful.Earlier, the United Nations Children’s Fund announced that due to the Taliban’s restrictive measures, 80% of Afghan girls have been deprived of education and more than two and a half million girls have been deprived of further education.
