The Taliban government imposed restrictions on higher education for Afghan girls that are banned in Afghanistan.
“You all are informed to immediately implement the mentioned order of suspending the education of females until further notice,” a letter issued to all government and private universities signed by the Minister for Higher Education Neda Mohammad Nadeem said.
Taliban Ministry of Higher Education
Yesterday, the Taliban Ministry of Higher Education issued an announcement regarding the Ban of Higher Education for Afghan Girls. This move paved the way for controversies against them, and they have received widespread condemnation from various organizations around the world. When Taliban groups took over Afghanistan, they claimed that “ there is no discrimination against women.” However, this decision seems contrary to what they claimed previously.
The United Nations has stated the move as a “Broken Promise”
Said, “We have seen since their (the Taliban’s) takeover a lessening of space for women, not only in education but access to public areas.” It’s another very troubling move, and it’s difficult to imagine how a country can develop and deal with all the challenges that it has without the active participation of women and their education.” said UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric
“This is a shameful decision that violates the right to education for women and girls in Afghanistan.” “The Taliban are making it clear every day that they don’t respect the fundamental rights of Afghans, especially women.” Tweeted by Human Rights Watch.
#LetHerLearn-Hashtag was storming Twitter right now. Now. Most of the non-governmental organizations, social activists, human rights activists, and many other people across the world showing their solidarity towards Afghan girls for their right to education are now human rights activists, social activists, and non-governmental organizations.
“Education is a crucial tool in the fight against poverty, inequality, and injustice.” “The Taliban’s ban on girls’ education only serves to perpetuate these issues in Afghanistan,” Habib Khan, founder of the non-governmental organization Afghan Peace Watch, wrote in a tweet.
