A number of women and girls in Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital of Balkh province, at a protest meeting called for the lifting of restrictions on girls’ education and women’s work.
A protest meeting between women and girls was held in the provincial capital of Balkh on Wednesday (March 21) and they criticized the caretaker government’s policies towards women.
According to them, learning education and job creation is one of the basic rights of citizens that the current system should not prevent citizens from achieving these rights.
A number of the protesters told the media that the learning of education in the Islamic religion is stipulated and that there is no obstruction against it, so the government should reconsider women’s education.
They called on the People of Afghanistan to join them in fulfilling the demands of women and girls about reopening schools and universities.
Women protesters in Balkh province insisted that they will continue their protests until their demands are reached.
After two years of blocking schools, the Taliban’s acting government has yet to come up with a solution to reopen girls’ schools and universities.
Although national and international organizations conducted many lawsuits on the issue, they failed to reach any conclusions after two years.
