UNAMA: The ban on girls’ education in Afghanistan should be lifted

The United Nations Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) announced that the ban on girls’ education will destroy the significant progress made in the past in the education sector.

In a statement, UNAMA once again called on the Taliban to lift the ban on girls’ education.

Afghan media reports show girls have been denied the right to education for more than 504 days.

Previously, UNAMA called for the immediate cancellation of the decree banning girls’ participation in entrance exams and said: This decree is against previous commitments.
