The Afghan Taliban regime continues to impose severe restrictions on women's education, jeopardizing the future of Afghan women.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has warned that the ban on girls' education will deprive Afghanistan of another generation of professionals in education, health and other sectors.

According to Voice of America, a UN report states that 2.4 million girls have been deprived of secondary education due to Taliban restrictions.

Since 2021, the Taliban have banned girls from secondary education, while no girl was admitted to university in 2026.

The Taliban's extremist ideology and restrictions on women's education have pushed Afghanistan decades backwards.
