March 22, 2025

Zan News: Amnesty International, coinciding with the start of the new academic year in Afghanistan, has called the Taliban’s ban on girls’ education “unjustifiable” and labeled it a blatant violation of human rights.
On Saturday (22 March), the organization stated in a message on X: “The new academic year has begun in Afghanistan, but girls above the sixth grade remain deprived of education.”
Amnesty International has urged people worldwide to sign a petition demanding the international community hold the Taliban accountable.
This comes as the Taliban, since seizing control of Afghanistan, have imposed sweeping restrictions on women and girls, banning education for girls above the sixth grade. With the start of the 1404 solar year (2023–2024), secondary and high schools remain closed to girls for the fourth consecutive year.
