The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has warned that the psychological distress caused by the deprivation of education for girls in Afghanistan has reached an unbearable level.
According to a report published by OCHA on Tuesday, March 26, girls aged 13 to 17 have been unable to attend school in 2024 due to existing restrictions.
OCHA has emphasized the need for psychological and social support for these girls and has called for immediate action to mitigate the consequences of this crisis.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has announced that 2.2 million girls have already been deprived of secondary education, and this number is expected to rise to four million by 2030.
UNICEF has stressed that the continuation of this situation not only threatens the future of Afghan girls but also has far-reaching consequences for society and the country’s development.
