Wednesday, March 20, ushered in the start of the new school year in Afghanistan, but to the disappointment of girls across the country, there was still no word on when they could return to class.Commenting on this, the US State Department said that the education of girls is vital for Islamic Emirate recognition.According to the State Department&s spokesman Vedant Patel: &Fair treatment of Afghan women and girls is one of our biggest priorities in relation to our policy towards Afghanistan.&We still believe that this is something that should be important to the Taliban (Islamic Emirate) and we think that it is critical to their desire to gain international legitimacy.
And therefore, the fact that Afghan women and girls do not have access to schools this year is sad.&The US Special Representative for Women and Human Rights of Afghanistan also commented and said the ongoing ban on high school and higher education for Afghan girls was heartbreaking and an extraordinary situation for women and girls in the world.Rina Amiri said: &Schools opened in Afghanistan, but once again girls cannot go to school.
This is a sad situation and a very heartbreaking situation for girls and women all over the world.
We must remember this and the Taliban (Islamic Emirate) too; there is no comparison.
What we see in Afghanistan does not exist in Muslim-majority countries.&The post New school year starts across the country, but not for high school girls first appeared on Ariana News.
