According to the U.N. children’s agency, it has been 1000 days since girls in Afghanistan were prohibited from attending secondary schools. This ban has affected over 1 million girls, hindering their access to education and opportunities for personal growth.
UNICEF Executive Director has urged Taliban authorities to allow all children, including girls, to resume learning immediately. The agency emphasizes that denying girls education not only violates their rights but also limits their future prospects and mental well-being.
