RASC: US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has said in a press conference that Islamic countries have a unified view on banning the education of women and girls in Afghanistan.
Anthony Blinken said: “When the Taliban imposed restrictive bans on women’s higher education, governments around the Muslim world condemned the decision, arguing that their actions were inhumane and against Islamic beliefs. “Islamic law scholars also condemned the actions of the Taliban group and pointed out that the Quran gives men and women the right to education.”
At the same time, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, referring to the Doha meeting held by the Secretary General of the United Nations regarding Afghanistan, said that Qatar hosted this meeting with the aim of meeting the demands of the Afghan people, especially the rights of minorities and women.
Majid Mohammad Al-Ansari, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, said in a press conference: “Qatar’s hosting of this meeting is in the context of Qatar’s assistance to the establishment and development of Afghanistan and support for dialogue to fulfill the wishes of the Afghan people to achieve a life with dignity and progress and protection.” Minorities, especially women’s rights, took place.”
Some religious scholars and students want the Taliban group to provide education for girls in the country as soon as possible.
They say that education is one of the basic rights of women and girls.
Fazul Hadi Wazeen, a member of the World Union of Muslim Scholars, said: “Regardless of what outsiders say about the right to education for Afghan women, it is the responsibility, religious and national obligation of the Taliban group to open the gates of schools and universities to Afghan girls without delay. It means to open half of the body of Afghan society.
Soraya Pikan, an activist in the field of women’s rights, says: “Unfortunately, we are lagging behind the caravan of science, and this is to the detriment of Afghanistan and the people of Afghanistan.”
Rohina Poya, a student, says about the education of women and girls: “The Taliban group promised us that schools and universities will be closed until further notice, girls are waiting for the gates of schools and universities to finally open for them.”
This is despite the fact that more than 600 days have passed since the gates of secondary schools and high schools for girls have been blocked, and more than 140 days since universities have been closed to female students in the country.
Amir Khan Motaqi, Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Taliban group, said at the Institute of Strategic Studies of Pakistan that banning girls is not prohibited from the point of view of Islam, and this issue will not be forever.
