- UN bodies, such as UNICEF and UNESCO must engage in dialogue with the Taliban authorities and ensure Muslim scholars from Afghanistan and other countries are present in the dialogues to make the Taliban understand the importance of girls’ education in Islam.
- To ensure that the Taliban’s recent policy does not significantly disrupt girls’ learning, international organizations present in Afghanistan must provide girls with the instructional materials needed to continue their studies in an equivalent manner as boys until the Taliban reopen schools for girls.
While more pressure must be brought to bear, the Taliban, too, will inevitably suffer from their misguided policy of suppressing girl’s academic development, particularly in their quest for donor assistance, international recognition and legitimacy.
In international forums, the Taliban claim to have learned from past mistakes and moderated significantly from their earlier extreme policies. However, as the shutdown of girls’ schools shows, their actions are inconsistent with their promises. Seven months after their return to power, the regime appears determined to ignore the will of the Afghan people or even display flexibility. It is instead defaulting to a backward-looking mindset on the rights, roles and futures of women and girls.
How can women have dedicated healthcare when no female healthcare workers are trained in the country?
From the religious perspective, too, the Taliban leaders must realize that they are accountable before Allah SWT for thrusting ignorance upon a generation of girls just so they can claim a perceived localized victory of tradition. When the Taliban ruled Afghanistan in their previous avatar from 1996 to 2001, the education of women was banned across the nation as were most of the avenues for their employment. This time, the Taliban gave public assurances that it would do things differently and avoid earlier pitfalls and mistakes. The people of Afghanistan believed it. but it was wrong.
The Taliban’s refusal to allow Afghan women and girls to receive an education is also a strategic mistake that stands in the way of the government’s efforts to gain international acceptance and find reliable partners that would support Afghanistan’s economic and structural development.
This is the only question that was asked many times from Taliban but they had no answer
Yes, they have no answer and strategy for solving this problem. how can a 6th grad student do healthcare or other necessary things.
That’s impossible, but you know they never answered people’s questions.They just do whatever they want and people have to obey them.
And that’s why lot’s of families emigrated from the country and girls are looking for scholarships to study abroad.
While the international community’s efforts are important, it’s crucial for local communities and leaders to actively support and protect the rights of Afghan women and girls. Sustainable change must come from within, with global support acting as a catalyst rather than a primary driver.
The Taliban’s refusal to educate Afghan women and girls hinders their chances of gaining international acceptance and securing partners for Afghanistan’s economic and structural development. This policy is a strategic error that isolates the country and impedes progress.
The taliban even closed the doors of courses for girls, beside schools and universities.
Yes, there are online platforms but unfortunately most of them don’t have access to cell phones.
They do not care about our rights and do not pay attention to our voices. They are treating us like animals.
Yeah, they’re very far from humanity.
You are right. Creating an online environment can help our sisters, but it won’t reach all girls, and that really hurts us.
Yeah, unfortunately.
They don’t even allow their daughters to gain knowledge
I really don’t know where they came from or what they want to achieve.
