The Taliban have ruined the future of Afghanistan by banning the education of girlsRina Amiri, the US Special Representative for Women and Human Rights in Afghanistan, stated that the Taliban have destroyed the country’s future by banning girls from education. He considered Afghanistan to be the only country in the world that applies such extreme policies and is isolated. Amiri emphasized that this Taliban policy has shattered the dreams of Afghan girls.
It has been 1000 days since the Taliban banned the education of girls above the sixth grade, and about 600 days have passed since the doors of universities were closed to girls. UNICEF has announced that during this period, Afghan girls have lost three billion hours of their education. UNICEF Executive Director Kathryn Russell called the day a “sad and worrying milestone”.
