On the International Day of Education some girls who have been denied access to education in the country expressed concerns about their unclear future.
They once again asked the current government to reopen girls’ schools and universities as soon as possible.
16-year-old Marwa talked about her unfulfilled aspirations to study economics: “Today is the International Day of Education and in Afghanistan all schools and universities are closed to girls, while in other countries this day is properly celebrated. The two years that have passed, we cannot compensate for it. I want that in the coming year, schools reopen to girls, so they can study and go to work and reach their dreams.”
“We ask the Islamic Emirate and the international community to reopen schools for us. It has been over two years that we are denied access to education,” Nazira, a student, told TOLOnews.
Meanwhile, some religious scholars asked the Islamic Emirate to provide education for girls in the country as soon as possible.
“Education is the legal and Sharia right of men and women and these are sharia obligations. Looking at Allah’s order, Allah’s order is reading, then there is no difference between men and women,” said Abdul Qadir Qanit, a religious scholar.
Although it has been more than two years since the nation’s schools and universities were closed to female students, it is unclear when they will reopen.
