A number of schoolgirls and female students once again demanded the reopening of schools and universities.
They say they have been in a state of uncertainty for nearly three years.
Ayesha, who was a fourth-year journalism student, talks about her dashed hopes as she flips through the pages of her book.
She advocates for equality in society, mentioning that while her male classmates graduated on December 1, 2023, she is struggling with an uncertain future.
“I couldn’t continue my education and realized that my dreams might slowly fade away,” She said.
Ziba, another student, says: “Our request to the Islamic Emirate is to provide work opportunities for women and to reopen schools for students above the sixth grade.”
Meanwhile, Naseer Ahmad Faiq, Chargé d’Affaires of Afghanistan’s Permanent Mission to the UN, during the General Assembly session on the occasion of Nelson Mandela International Day, called for the protection of Afghan women’s rights, particularly their right to education.
Faiq said in this regard: “Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” In honor of his legacy, let us recommit ourselves to promoting education, combating poverty, and advancing human rights globally.”
“Men and women should participate in the progress of education, and the Taliban should be inspired by other Islamic countries and provide educational opportunities according to the words of Allah, which says ‘read,'” said Lamiya Shirzai, a women’s rights activist.
The Islamic Emirate has recently remained silent on this issue but previously stated that all women’s rights in the country are ensured within the framework of Islamic laws and that this is an internal matter in which other countries should not interfere.
