As 1,638 days have passed since girls in Afghanistan were barred from education beyond the sixth grade, the Afghanistan Human Rights Monitor has once again called for the restoration of girls’ right to education.

In a post published this evening (Saturday, March 13) on X, the organization stated that millions of girls in Afghanistan remain deprived of their fundamental right to education.

The Afghanistan Human Rights Monitor added that silence cannot conceal the injustice of banning girls from education.

After returning to power in the summer of 2021, the Taliban imposed a ban on secondary and higher education for girls across Afghanistan.

Over the past more than four years, human rights organizations, the United Nations, and governments around the world have repeatedly called on the Taliban to lift the ban on girls’ education. However, these demands have consistently been rejected by the Taliban.
