Afghanistan’s Ministry of Interior Affairs has said girls will be allowed to return to secondary seminaries soon.
Saeed Khosty, a spokesperson for the interior ministry, told Al Jazeera on Sunday that the exact timing will be blazoned by the Ministry of Education.
From my understanding and information, in a veritably short time all the universities and seminaries will be restarted and all the girls and women will return to academy and their tutoring jobs,” he said.
Following the Taliban’s preemption of Afghanistan, teenage girls were told to stay home from academy until a “ safe literacy terrain” could be established. But boys in all grades and girls of primary age were told to return to academy.
The rejection of aged girls has exacerbated fears that the Taliban could be returning to their strict rule of the 1990s, when women and girls were fairly barred from education and employment.
Khosti “ indicated that it was imminent that girls in secondary seminaries and their womanish preceptors would be returning veritably soon,” said Al Jazeera’s Stefanie Dekker, reporting from Kabul.
“ This is commodity that we ’ve been hearing from the Taliban since they took power. Yes, they ’re going to return. But it’s going to take time. And of course, that’s taking a risk on a lot of the girls,” she said.
“ They want to go back to academy, they want to continue their studies. This is also one of the demands of the transnational community for the Taliban to cover and guard the rights of girls and women to go to academy and to work.”
It has transferred mixed signals about women returning to work in government services and has forced universities to legislate programs of gender isolation in order to renew.
It also named an each-manly press, saying women could be included latterly.
Antonio Guterres, the clerk-general of the United Nations, before this month condemned the Taliban’s “ broken” promises to Afghan women and girls, and appealed to the group to fulfil their scores under transnational mortal rights and philanthropic law.
