While the Afghan Islamist Taliban has postponed the resumption of secondary education for girls, women have demonstrated in the capital Kabul for resumption.
In Afghanistan, the Taliban have shown their own interpretation that it is against Islamic teachings for men and women to study in the same place, and girls continue to be unable to attend secondary education in Japanese junior high and high schools.
The Taliban said it would resume secondary education for girls on the 23rd of this month, but it was postponed on that day.
Against this backdrop, on the 26th in central Kabul, more than 150 female students and female teachers held a demonstration calling for the reopening of the school, and reopened with a banner stating, "Education is our basic right." I complained.
The women who participated complained, "Since half of the society is women, we should allow women's education. The Taliban cannot suppress women in Afghanistan."
The Taliban describes the reason for the postponement as a procedural issue, but so far has not disclosed when it will resume.
Following the postponement of the resumption of secondary education for girls, the U.S. government has canceled the planned meeting with the Taliban, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres has urged the resumption of secondary education as soon as possible. It is expected that the gap with the international community will deepen depending on the response of the Taliban.
