UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, has recently announced that it and its partners have distributed educational materials to four million children in Afghanistan.
Tajuddin Owyala, UNICEF’s representative in Afghanistan, reported via a message on X that these contributions have also supported the reconstruction of 232 schools.
He further emphasized that these efforts have created better environments for the education and growth of children across Afghanistan.
Mr. Owyala added, “Every child deserves a safe place to learn and the tools to build their future.”
UNICEF announces these educational contributions at a time when approximately two million girls are unable to attend school due to the restrictions imposed by the caretaker government.
It should be noted that the current government, after taking control of Afghanistan, has deprived women and girls of education. In its latest restriction, it closed the doors of medical institutes to girls and women, while the healthcare sector across Afghanistan is facing a shortage of personnel.
In addition, women have been banned from going to sports clubs, restaurants, public baths, being examined by male doctors, traveling without a male guardian, working in domestic and international NGOs, and even in United Nations offices in Afghanistan.
