Female Students in Kabul Express Concerns Over Five Years Without Education
Female students in Kabul have voiced worries about their uncertain futures after five years of exclusion from schools and universities.
The students assert that education is their human right and call for schools to reopen for all girls. They describe the ban as having challenged their academic paths and shattered their dreams and plans.
Some female students stated they would have completed secondary school or graduated from university by now if not for the deprivation. The exclusion has also led to severe psychological impacts, including depression, anxiety, feelings of worthlessness, and hopelessness, according to the students.
The lack of education continues to affect the daily lives of these female students, leaving them without clear prospects for resuming studies.
