Kabul: Human Right Watch (HRW) in a report released on Friday, asked the caretaker government to reverse the ban on girls’ education and reopen schools and universities for girls and women in Afghanistan.
The report further highlights that the ruling regime should stop attacking the future of girls, women and the country, adding that currently, Afghanistan is the only country banning girls from secondary school, Khama press reported.
The organization expressed concern about the world’s approach to dealing with the Afghan rulers, and how their gender policies have affected the future of women and girls in Afghanistan.
“Afghanistan is the only country barring girls from secondary school. The authorities had promised to respect human rights, the rights of women and girls in particular. However, with the beginning of the new academic year, they sent teenage girls back home,” Sahar Fetrat, Assistant Researcher, Women’s Rights Division of HRW, said.
