(Last Updated On: November 16, 2023)
Iran’s Vice President for Women and Family Affairs Ensieh Khazali says that Iranian universities are willing to enrol Afghan and Palestinian girls who are deprived of an education.
Khazali said on X on Wednesday that some Islamic countries have volunteered to pay for the education of these girls.
Earlier this year, a number of Iranian universities announced they would accept Afghan female student.
The return of the Islamic Emirate to power in Afghanistan caused all female students, as well as girls above grade six, to be deprived of an education.
In Gaza, a large part of the population has been displaced amid the ongoing war. This has had an enormous impact on girls as universities have closed amid continued strikes by the Israeli army.
