The spokesman for the Taliban government, Zabihullah Mujahid, recently addressed the media, stating that efforts are underway to reopen girls' schools and universities in Afghanistan. While not providing specific details about the progress in reopening girls' education institutions, Mujahid assured that the Taliban government is attentive to the wishes of the Afghan people, Daryo correspondent in Afghanistan reported.
This statement follows earlier remarks from UNICEF, the UN International Fund, expressing that schools and universities for Afghan girls are not anticipated to open in the immediate future. The situation underscores the complex challenges surrounding education, particularly for girls, in the aftermath of the Taliban's return to power.
The reassurance from the Taliban government regarding efforts to reopen girls' schools and universities comes amidst global concerns about the protection of women's rights and access to education in Afghanistan. During their previous rule in the late 1990s, the Taliban imposed severe restrictions on women's education and participation in public life.
Earlier Daryo reported that in an emotionally charged conversation, two individuals from Afghanistan, identified as 'Aisha' and 'Omar' to protect their safety, recount their profound encounters during the Taliban's governance in an interview with Daryo. Concealing their actual identities is imperative due to the continued risks and oppression prevailing in the area.
