On the 1,659th day of the closure of schools for girls above the sixth grade across Afghanistan, the organization “Afghanistan Rights Monitor” has once again called for the lifting of this ban.
In a message posted on its X account, the organization stated that the ban on girls’ education continues; a ban that has deprived millions of Afghan girls of their right to education and the opportunity to achieve their dreams.
Afghanistan Rights Monitor, criticizing the continuation of this situation, has called for advocacy for the education of girls above the sixth grade and emphasized in part of its message: “Raise your voice.”
Additionally, in another message, the organization stated: “The ban on girls’ education in Afghanistan still continues, and Afghanistan is the only country in the world where girls are systematically deprived of education.”
This comes as, with the start of the educational year 1405, girls above the sixth grade have been denied the continuation of their education for the fifth consecutive year.
It should be noted that the current government, after taking control of Afghanistan, has deprived women and girls of education. Furthermore, in its latest restriction, it has closed the doors of medical institutes to girls and women, while the health sector across Afghanistan is facing a shortage of personnel.
This action by the current government has resulted in millions of female students being unable to receive an education.
In addition, women have been banned from going to sports clubs, restaurants, public baths, being examined by male doctors, traveling without a male guardian, and working in domestic and international NGOs as well as even at UN offices in Afghanistan.
