Five years after the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan, approximately 2.4 million girls are still denied access to secondary education, according to a United Nations agency report.
This exclusion represents a significant setback for the country's development and the well-being of its female population. The Taliban's policies have systematically dismantled educational opportunities for girls beyond primary school, impacting their future prospects and perpetuating cycles of inequality.
The report highlights the urgent need for international attention and action to address this crisis. Denying education to half the population has profound long-term consequences for Afghanistan's social, economic, and political stability.
