The United Nations Women’s Department (UNWOMEN) report, which has been published today, says that continuing and continuing the ban on girls in Afghanistan will increase the marriage of female children by 25 %.
The report also said that with the continuing prohibition on girls’ education, maternal mortality will increase by 50 % and early childbirth among adolescent girls will increase by 45 percent.
In another part of the report, the caretaker government has issued more than 50 orders against women in Afghanistan since coming to power, and Afghanistan is the only country in the world in which girls above sixth class is forbidden and going of girls and women to universities are banned.
Reminding that 82% of women are in a “bad” mental health, the organizations has highlighted the impact of restrictions and prohibitions on women in many areas of life.
UN Women continues to refer to Afghan women’s demands from the international community to focus on the situation of Afghanistan and the return of women’s rights, including the right to education, the right to work and participate in collective decisions, and calls on the international community that keep sustained representing Afghan women at international levels.
The ban on working and educating women and removing them from many areas of social, political and economic life has received widespread reactions at home and abroad. Although the caretaker government has spoken of the temporary issue and working on the design of appropriate practical mechanisms to provide the environment and conditions for women to re -work and educate, there is no door so far.
