The United Nations Women’s Department has emphasized that the life of women and girls in Afghanistan has been aggravated by gender inequalities and this situation is worsening.
At the same time, this report is published that after the caretaker government returned to power in Afghanistan, girls above the sixth grade were deprived of education and then female students were banned from going to universities.

Also, recently, the current government’s new law on promoting good and forbidding evil has even labeled women’s voices as “women”.
The United Nations Women’s Department had previously said that the restrictions on women had a destructive effect on their lives in Afghanistan.
