UNESCO criticizes Afghan school ban
Since returning to power in 2021, the Taliban has prevented approximately 2.4 million Afghan girls from attending secondary education, depriving them of university opportunities, threatening their employment prospects, and increasing the risk of early marriage. Afghanistan is the only country that prohibits women from secondary and higher education, which forewarns of decades of lost potential and rising poverty. UNESCO estimates that this ban could lead to the exit of 600,000 women from the labor market by 2066, with income losses reaching up to $9.6 billion.
