The UN asked the Afghan minister to remove the ban on higher education for women. Ambassador insisted.
In Afghanistan, where the Taliban rule, strict restrictions have been imposed on women. In this way, the issue of banning women from higher education caused a great shock and the Taliban government was condemned from all over the world.
Countries including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, which have a majority of Muslims, also condemned it. In this case, UN High Ambassador Marcus Botzel today met with the Minister of Higher Education of the Taliban government, Nita Mohammad Nadeem. During this meeting the ban on women’s higher education was discussed.
The UN Ambassador has insisted that this ban should be removed immediately and women should be given opportunities to study higher education. No information has been released regarding Minister Nadeem’s response to this.
