As Afghanistan enters its fourth year of school closures for girls, UNAMA has once again expressed its deep disappointment with the Taliban.
In a statement, Rosa Otunbayeva, head of UNAMA, warned that the denial of education for girls is not only a blatant violation of human rights but also further isolates Afghanistan and complicates its economic situation and humanitarian aid efforts.
She emphasized: “I am deeply disappointed that the ruling authorities continue to ignore the demands of the people.”
According to UNICEF, an additional 400,000 girls have been barred from secondary education this year. The organization has warned that if this policy continues until 2030, more than four million Afghan girls will be deprived of secondary education.
