RASC News Agency: A conference is slated to convene in Doha, focusing on the imperative matter of women’s and girls’ education in Afghanistan. This gathering, scheduled for Saturday, December 9, is orchestrated by Afghanistan’s Department of Girls’ Education in collaboration with the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies in Doha. Distinguished figures, including Rina Amiri, the US Special Representative for Women and Human Rights in Afghanistan, and Rangina Hamidi, the former Minister of Education, will be in attendance to critically scrutinize and deliberate potential solutions aimed at bolstering women’s rights in Afghanistan.
The agenda for this meeting underscores the profound importance of education for women in Afghanistan, emphasizing the historical role of knowledge in shaping the progress, innovation, and social advancement of nations. Despite this, the education sector in Afghanistan, particularly for Afghanistani women and girls, has struggled to achieve desired advancements. This meeting seeks to tackle this issue head-on, exploring ways to surmount the challenges faced by women in accessing education.
Beyond its focus on women’s education, the meeting will delve into other pressing global concerns, encompassing crises in Syria, Yemen, and Ukraine, along with the issue of climate change. It is crucial to highlight that the recurring topic of discussion pertains to the Taliban group’s deprivation of Afghanistani women and girls from education and other fundamental rights. Despite continuous calls from authorities and international organizations to lift these restrictions, the Taliban group persists in enforcing these bans without providing any logical justification. This meeting serves as an opportunity to underscore the urgency of addressing this issue and finding viable solutions to uphold women’s rights in Afghanistan.
