United Nations: We stay in Afghanistan and defend the rights of women and girls

The UN Secretary-General says the organization will continue to work until girls return to school and women work in Afghanistan.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres tweeted today that the organization will continue to operate in Afghanistan until girls go to school and women return to work.

“We will not stop until girls can go back to school and women go to work and participate in public life,” Guterres wrote.

However, in many provinces of Afghanistan, girls above the sixth grade are still not allowed to go to school, but boys’ schools have been opened in these provinces.

But in six provinces of Afghanistan, all girls are reportedly allowed to go to school.

Also after the Taliban took control, the group did not allow women to work in government offices.
