Women in Afghanistan are unable to attend school even in the new semester, calling for education to resume. Since the Taliban returned to power three years ago in 2021, they have tightened restrictions on women's rights.
In February, a senior Taliban interim government official explained to NHK that efforts were being made to restart girls' education, but there is no prospect that the situation will change, he said. The Taliban, an Islamist group in power, continues to restrict women from attending schools up to elementary school, and women are calling for the resumption of education.
