The United Nations has recently stated that five years after the return of the interim government in Afghanistan, women and girls see their future drifting further out of reach than ever before.
In a statement released the organization noted that according to findings from the UN Women’s section, women leave their homes only once or twice a month, while men go out every day.
The UN emphasized that five years after the current government’s return to power, the future of women is at a critical juncture.
It is worth mentioning that since taking control of Afghanistan, the interim government has deprived women and girls of education. 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 schoolgirls being unable to pursue their education.
Additionally, 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.
