According to a recent report, over three million girls once registered in schools have been refused their right to education since the Taliban takeover. Their future in Afghanistan appears miserable.



According to TOLO news which cited the report by Save the Children, a humanitarian organization, the prohibition on Afghan girls and women's education has resulted in a surge in the threat of early marriage, violence, and abuse in the nation.



Female students in Afghanistan have frequently raised problems over the education ban and have now reached on the Taliban authority to reopen the schools for girls as schools return on March 21, 2023.



Olivier Franchi, the Acting Country Director for Afghanistan of Save the Children, said in a statement that Afghanistan is the only nation in the world that has restricted girls above VI standard from education. Yet girls here desire a better future and know the best path to success is through school, TOLOnews said, mentioning the report.



The Kabul people also insisted that the Islamic Emirate reopen the schools for girls.



According to TOLOnews, a resident of Kabul, Zalmai said, we hope that the Islamic Emirate based on Islamic religion will authorize both girls and boys to study.



Several students also called on the Taliban government to reopen schools for girls as soon as possible.



Nageena, a student, said the Afghan news agency reported that all girls in the country want the doors of the schools to be reopened as only one week remains until the education year begins.



Many Islamic nations and organisations, including the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), have criticized the prohibition on women's and girls' access to work and education as a violation of Islamic law.



Since August 15, 2021, the de facto rules have banned girls from attending secondary school, limited women and girls' freedom of movement, banned women and girls from most areas of the workforce, and prohibited women from using public parks, gyms, and bathhouses.
