RASC News Agency: During a meeting with the representative of the UN Secretary General, Hamid Karzai eloquently expressed his fervent desire for the Taliban group to uphold the fundamental right of Afghanistani girls to freely pursue education. As the esteemed former president of Afghanistan, Karzai emphasized the paramount importance of fostering a sense of “national understanding” within the country. This gathering transcended mere discussions on the recent natural disaster in Herat province and the plight of earthquake victims; it underscored a resolute recognition and admiration for the significant contributions made by the United Nations in Afghanistan.
It is incumbent upon us to recognize the persistent appeals that emanate from Hamid Karzai, in conjunction with numerous domestic and international officials, as they beseech the Taliban group to grant Afghanistani girls unfettered access to schools and the cherished opportunity to receive an education.
Furthermore, despite the passage of two years under the Taliban group’s reign, during which their authority has gone unrecognized by any nation, and despite their lack of proactive measures in addressing this pressing issue, they have steadfastly maintained their decision to curtail educational opportunities for girls beyond the sixth grade.
Therefore, it is essential to highlight the fact that Afghanistan currently holds the lamentable distinction of being the solitary nation globally where female students above the sixth grade confront a grievous prohibition on attending school, as attested by the available data.
Moreover, the reports presented by the Taliban group itself divulge their deplorable intentions to perpetuate oppressive limitations upon Afghanistani women, ultimately aiming to restrict and eradicate their presence. This detestable agenda serves to perpetuate the policies of dominance that characterized the preceding era, casting a somber shadow over the prospects of gender equality and progress within the nation.
