UNAMA urges IEA to reopen schools for girls
(Last Updated On: March 20, 2024)
The Office of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) on Wednesday called on the Islamic Emirate to reopen schools and universities to teenage girls and women.
In a post on X, UNAMA pointed out on the day schools reopened for the new year that it has been more than 900 days since girls over the age of twelve have been allowed to attend school and university.
UNAMA has urged the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) to end this “unjustifiable” and “damaging” ban.
“Education for all is essential for peace & prosperity,” UNAMA added.
