EU Strongly Condemns Taliban’s Decision to Suspend Higher Education for Afghan Women

Dec 21, 2022, 12:28 GMT+0

The European Union (EU) has strongly condemned the Taliban's decision to suspend higher education for Afghan women. EU Foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said that the Taliban violates the rights of Afghans and deprives Afghanistan of women’s contributions to society.

The senior EU official added that gender persecution is a crime against humanity.

The Taliban announced on Tuesday, that girls are not allowed to enter universities across Afghanistan until further notice.

In more than a year’s reign in Afghanistan, this is the second act of the Taliban to deprive Afghan girls of education. Previously, the Taliban had barred secondary and higher school education for Afghan girls.
