Amid the Taliban's restrictions on basic rights of women, and girls to attain education, female students in Afghanistan have expressed that their lack of education has diminished the spirit of Eid holidays.
Due to the Taliban-imposed ban on access to education for female students in Afghanistan, some have launched their own enterprises in order to support their families, economically, TOLOnews reported.
The ban on the education of Afghan girls and women has resulted in a surge in the risk of early marriage, violence and abuse in the country, according to TOLO news which cited the report by Save the Children, a humanitarian organization.
On International Day of Education, the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday called on the Taliban in Afghanistan to reverse the ban on girls' access to secondary and higher education.
