She stated: &#8220;<\/span>As a new school year begins in Afghanistan, 400,000 more girls are now deprived of their right to education, bringing the total number to 2.2 million &#8230; If these bright young girls continue to be denied an education, the repercussions will last for generations.\u201d<br \/><span>UNICEF urged the Taliban to reverse their decision and allow all girls to return to school immediately. The agency called on the international community to continue advocating for Afghan girls\u2019 rights and to support initiatives ensuring that no child is left behind. Russell concluded: <\/span><span>\u201cThe future of Afghanistan\u2019s girls and the country as a whole depends on education.&#8221;<\/span><br \/><span>The Taliban initially <a href=https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2022\/03\/23\/taliban-close-girls-secondary-schools-afghanistan-again>promised<\/a> to reopen secondary schools for girls but have repeatedly reneged on their commitments. High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet previously <a href=https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2022\/03\/1114482>described<\/a> the restriction as \u201cdeeply damaging for Afghanistan,\u201d stating that the systematic exclusion of girls from education exacerbates the country\u2019s humanitarian crisis and weakens its economic future. <\/span><span>In December 2024, reports emerged that the Taliban were considering a further ban on women studying in medical faculties, including nursing, midwifery, and gynecology. UNICEF <a href=https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/press-releases\/statement-unicef-executive-director-catherine-russell-reported-restrictions-Afghanistan>warned<\/a> that such a policy would immediately halt the medical education of thousands of women, jeopardizing women\u2019s and children\u2019s access to essential healthcare services.\u00a0<\/span><span><\/span><br \/><span>Afghanistan remains one of the <a href=https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/media\/115271\/file\/Afghanistan-2021-COAR.pdf>worst humanitarian crises<\/a> in the world, with approximately 23.7 million people, including 12.3 million children, requiring humanitarian assistance.
