Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights for Afghanistan, stated that the solar new year begins alongside the continued deprivation of education for girls. He strongly condemned this ongoing situation as completely unacceptable.
Bennett highlighted on the X platform that in this new academic year, girls above the sixth grade remain barred from attending school, while women are excluded from universities. The UN children's agency also reported millions of girls are affected.
As the Eid holidays conclude, the new school year commences in Afghanistan, yet the restrictive policies of the Taliban government persist. Human rights activists warn these severe limitations will lead to further human rights violations, including an increase in forced marriages. #Afghanistan #WomensRights #Education
