The UN reported that the Taliban's policies have resulted in at least 1.4 million girls being deprived of education, signaling a significant humanitarian crisis.
UNESCO warned that Afghanistan is the only country barring girls and women from secondary education. This 'gender apartheid' endangers the future of an entire generation.
Approximately 2.5 million school-age girls, representing 80% of the eligible demographic, are being denied their right to education under the Taliban regime.
UNESCO's Director General has called for sustained global pressure to ensure the reopening of schools and universities for Afghan girls and women to combat this crisis.
