UN Secretary General Calls on Taliban To Reverse Ban on Education for Women

Jan 24, 2023, 08:19 GMT+0

On World Education Day, Antonio Guterres, the United Nations Secretary General called on the Taliban to reverse the ban on education for women. Guterres said that now is the time to end all discriminatory practices that hinder access to education.

January 24 is celebrated all over the world as "Education Day" and in 2023, the Taliban has prevented the reopening of girls' schools in Afghanistan for more than 490 days.

Afghanistan is the only country in the world where girls and women do not have the right to education and work under the Taliban.
