The International Organization for Insecurity Insight has expressed concern, announcing that in the year 2023, a total of 109 cases of violence and 65 cases of detention against doctors and health workers have been recorded across Afghanistan. In a published report, the organization stated that this figure has nearly doubled compared to 2022, when the number of recorded incidents was 87. The report mentions that in 2023, 75% of kidnappings of doctors and health workers have decreased. It also refers to an incident on October 11 of this year, where local officials of the current government assaulted a doctor for criticizing the parking of a vehicle at a health center in the Shindand district of Herat. Following this incident, the staff of this health center went on strike, but government officials ended the strike after two days without accepting their demands. The International Organization for Insecurity Insight has indicated that many doctors and health workers in Afghanistan under the current government have been interrogated and imprisoned on charges of moral corruption, traveling without a male guardian, forgery, theft, connections with ISIS, and for not separating the work areas of male and female doctors and male and female patients. This comes at a time when the current government has imposed a ban on women working in all non-governmental organizations and many governmental offices; however, the health sector is the only area where work and education for women in some educational centers have been permitted by the Taliban. According to various reports from the World Health Organization, most people in Afghanistan do not have easy access to health services due to a shortage of doctors and health centers. The International Organization for Insecurity Insight states that from January 1, 2024, to September 30, a total of 2,267 incidents of obstruction or violence against the provision of health services have been recorded in 53 countries, with approximately 236 health workers detained in 92 incidents.

Several international organizations, including Save the Children, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and the Afghanistan Education Authority, have recently announced that 8.9 million students in Afghanistan are expected to attend school next year. These organizations stated today (Tuesday, November 12) in a joint report that based on forecasts, student attendance in schools is expected to increase by approximately 10.7% compared to the year 2024. The report mentions that one of the reasons for the potential increase in students is the growing population across Afghanistan. It further notes that girls who are graduating from sixth grade this year will be deprived of continuing their education. International organizations emphasized that next year, a significant number of school-aged children in Afghanistan will remain deprived of their right to education due to economic challenges and social conditions. The report highlights that international organizations will focus on vulnerable children in schools. Additionally, it states that international organizations advocating for children's rights will support 480,000 vulnerable Afghan students next year. These organizations noted that the costs of local classrooms have increased from $2,700 to $2,800 per month. They also mentioned that the expenses for vulnerable children have risen from $63 to $65, while teachers' costs have increased from $100 to $120. This comes as just a few months ago, UNICEF reported that after 1,000 days of prohibiting girls above sixth grade from education in Afghanistan, they have lost three billion hours of classroom time. Girls have been deprived of schooling and university for over three years now. It should be noted that the current government's restrictions have resulted in millions of girls being unable to access 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 local and international NGOs and even at UN offices in Afghanistan.

Stephanie Luz, head of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme in Afghanistan, states that many rural citizens are migrating to cities. Ms. Luz identifies job opportunities, livelihood, better education, and income generation as major reasons for the migration of Afghan citizens to urban areas. She emphasized that the situation for women and girls in Afghanistan is "dire," which is part of the challenges they face. The head of the UN Human Settlements Programme in Afghanistan said, "The caretaker government has enacted laws that deprive women of public life." She added, "On one hand, it is crucial to ensure that women can still access some public spaces; but at the same time, it is particularly important to provide them access to ensure that suitable places are made available for them." Stephanie Luz mentioned that the United Nations is currently consulting on how to create culturally acceptable spaces in the current environment, as well as providing areas where women can meet outside their homes and find ways to leave their homes. While this UN official describes the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan as dire, the current government has imposed severe restrictions on women and girls since regaining control over the country. The caretaker government has banned women and girls from education, work, freedom of movement, and raising their voices outside their homes. Additionally, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) has recently stated that the current government's new laws have restricted the fundamental rights of Afghan citizens.

The United Nations Population Fund has announced that Afghanistan is one of the most challenging places in the world for women to give birth, with a mother dying every two hours due to preventable complications related to childbirth. In a report, the organization stated that Afghan women and girls are facing challenges stemming from prolonged conflict and restrictions imposed by the interim government. The report noted that the World Population Organization is providing services to women and girls to ensure their access to healthcare, support, and opportunities they deserve. According to the United Nations Population Fund, fragile healthcare infrastructure and limited access to health and reproductive services, especially in rural areas, pose serious risks to mothers and newborns in Afghanistan. The report highlighted that over the past three years, Afghanistan's prolonged crisis has been exacerbated by widespread economic instability, restrictions on women's work and education, forced return of migrants, and large-scale displacement. The organization emphasized that it has provided healthcare services to over one million people across the country each month. Piyu Smith, the regional director of the United Nations Population Fund for Asia and the Pacific, stated, "Only this year, the UN Population Fund has assisted over 660,000 Afghan youth, 80% of whom are women, through special youth communication programs. These programs provide healthcare services and livelihood support, including skills development for young people." It was further mentioned that climate change has also intensified the emergency situation in Afghanistan. Severe weather events have seriously impacted women's and girls' access to healthcare services. Recent floods have claimed lives and deprived some communities of vital maternal and reproductive health services. Mr. Smith indicated that the organization requires more resources to expand assistance to women and girls throughout Afghanistan. The World Population Organization continues to urge the international community to stand alongside Afghan women and youth. While the World Population Organization reports on maternal mortality in Afghanistan, the European Union has also expressed concern over this situation in the country. It should be noted that Afghanistan has had the highest maternal mortality rate during childbirth for years due to a weak healthcare system.

Abdul Ghani Saeed, the head of the caretaker government's appellate court in Jowzjan, stated that 22 people, including four women, were punished in public at a stadium in this province. Mr. Saeed mentioned that the whipping sentence for these individuals was carried out on Tuesday, November 5, at the stadium in Sheberghan, the capital of Jowzjan province. He emphasized that these individuals were whipped for crimes including adultery (sexual relations outside of marriage), drug trafficking, production, and consumption of alcohol in public. He added that the accused received between 25 to 29 lashes and were sentenced to imprisonment ranging from one month to one year. Additionally, the Supreme Court of the current government stated on Tuesday, November 5, in separate announcements that one woman and one man were whipped in Kabul, two men were whipped in Paktika province, and another man was whipped in Maidan Wardak province. The announcement indicated that the primary court in Kabul sentenced one woman and one man to one year and six months in prison for adultery and whipped each of them 39 times. The Supreme Court reported that two individuals were sentenced to eight months in prison for "sodomy" in the Khusamand district of Paktika and received 36 lashes. Furthermore, another announcement stated that government forces in the Saydabad district of Maidan Wardak province sentenced one man to two years in prison for "sodomy" and also whipped him 39 times. The announcement noted that these individuals were whipped in the presence of local judicial, administrative, and military officials of this group, along with a number of citizens. Since regaining control over Afghanistan, the caretaker government has repeatedly whipped accused individuals in public and executed five people in front of hundreds of spectators. Human rights organizations consider executions and corporal punishment to be against international laws and human dignity, calling for their cessation.

Officials from the Ministry of Education of the caretaker government state that the current government's priority for enhancing the quality of education in Afghanistan is religious schools. Mawlawi Karamatullah Akhundzada, the Deputy Minister for Islamic Education at the Ministry of Education, mentioned at a workshop aimed at improving the educational capacity and professional skills of teachers in religious schools that the government's main focus is on strengthening religious schools and enhancing the quality of education within them. Akhundzada added, "Thank God, we have thousands of religious schools in Afghanistan." He emphasized that the first condition for improving the quality of education in religious schools is to recruit the best teachers. Media reports indicate that similar workshops have been launched in all 34 provinces of Afghanistan to strengthen religious schools and provide more support to the teachers and students of these institutions. The Ministry of Education is focusing on strengthening religious schools at a time when education for girls above sixth grade is banned in Afghanistan, and women and girls are also deprived of higher education and employment opportunities. According to statistics from the Ministry of Education, there are currently 21,257 religious and jihadist schools and 18,337 public schools operating in Afghanistan. With the takeover of the caretaker government in Afghanistan, jihadist schools have been established across the country by order of Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, the leader of the current government. Additionally, increasing restrictions on women, including their exclusion from education and employment, have led world governments to not recognize the current regime. United Nations officials have repeatedly used the term "gender apartheid" to describe the situation of women in Afghanistan, and the Security Council, Human Rights Council, and General Assembly of the United Nations have held multiple meetings urging the leaders of the current government to revoke decrees against women. However, none of these restrictive decrees have been lifted in the past three years. It should be noted that just a week ago, Khalid Hanafi, the Minister of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, stated in a speech to a gathering in eastern Afghanistan that according to Islamic laws, women are not allowed to say "Subhanallah" (Glory be to God) and "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to God) aloud even while performing prayers.
