On the 1,756th day of schools being closed to girls above the sixth grade, Afghanistan Rights Monitor criticized the continuation of this situation and emphasized that every girl has the right to education and should not be deprived of this right.
In a message posted on their X account, the organization called on the international community, international organizations, and human rights institutions to stand with Afghan women and girls.
It further emphasized that every girl deserves the freedom to learn and the opportunity to build her future, and no individual or authority should take this right away from her.
Additionally, Afghanistan Rights Monitor noted that despite the ongoing ban on girls’ education for nearly five years, many girls remain hopeful about returning to school and pursuing their dreams and goals.
While Afghanistan Rights Monitor calls for the reopening of schools, the interim government has deprived women and girls of education since taking control of Afghanistan. In its latest restriction, it closed the doors of medical institutes to girls and women, while the health sector across Afghanistan faces a shortage of personnel.
This government’s action has resulted in millions of female students being deprived of education.
Moreover, 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 UN offices in Afghanistan.
According to reports, if this ban continues, nearly four million girls may be deprived of education by 2030.
