UN: Continued Ban on Girls' Education will Increase Child Marriage of Girls in Afghanistan by 25% ​ Zan News - Kabul: The UN Women in Afghanistan warns that if the Taliban continues to ban girls' education, child marriage in the country will increase by 25%. ​ A report released by the agency on Saturday (May 25) predicts that if the ban continues, early childbearing among teenage girls will increase by 45% and maternal mortality by 50%. ​ According to the report, Afghanistan is currently the only country in the world where girls' education above the sixth grade is "banned as a policy" and women are barred from attending university. ​ The UN Women says the Taliban has issued more than 50 decrees against women since regaining control of Afghanistan, none of which have been repealed. ​ The organization says these restrictions and bans have had a devastating impact on the lives of Afghan women, with 82% of women describing their mental health as "bad". ​ The report states that Afghan women are calling on the international community to focus on the situation in the country and work to restore women's rights, including the right to education, work and participation in public decision-making. They also demand their continued presence at the international level and emphasize that the Taliban can in no way represent the women of Afghanistan. ​ According to the report, Afghan women are calling on the international community not to recognize the Taliban without lifting all restrictions on women. Recognition of the Taliban before tangible progress on women's rights is seen as the "worst-case scenario" for the lives and future of Afghan women. ​ It should be noted that since regaining power in Afghanistan, the Taliban has banned women from education and work and has imposed wide-ranging restrictions on their participation and presence in society. The Taliban's restrictions on women have been met with widespread global backlash, with UN experts calling them a "crime against humanity".

Taliban: We are Committed to Women's Rights, Don't Judge us Wrong ​ Zan News: Taliban's Minister of Virtue and Vice, Mohammad Khalid Hanafi, claims the Taliban government is committed to granting women and girls their rights and that the world should not make inaccurate judgments about their rule. ​ In an interview with a Turkish media outlet, Hanafi stated that "the Taliban government is committed to granting women's rights and has always strived to ensure that women's rights are not violated." ​ Hanafi also called on the international community to avoid making inaccurate judgments about the Taliban and to present the true picture of their rule to their people. He added, "We don't ask anything else from countries, just that they don't make inaccurate judgments about us and show their people the true picture of the Taliban government." ​ These claims by Hanafi come despite the Taliban imposing extensive restrictions on women and girls in Afghanistan over the past nearly three years. Currently, women and girls have been banned from continuing their education in universities and schools by the group, which has deprived millions of girls of education. ​ In addition, women have been banned from going to gyms, restaurants, public baths, being examined by male doctors, traveling without a mahram (male guardian), working in domestic and international NGOs, and even UN offices in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan's Women's Freedom Window Movement: We Sanction the Doha Meeting, Negotiations with the Taliban Are Rejected ​ Zan News - Kabul: In a statement, the Afghanistan Women's Freedom Window Movement has strongly condemned and sanctioned the third Doha meeting scheduled for June 30th. The movement also rejected negotiations with the Taliban due to the group's "crimes against humanity" against the people, especially women. ​ The statement said that since the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan, the group has committed all "crimes against humanity" against the people, especially women. Despite these atrocities, Afghan women have been at the forefront of the fight for justice and freedom and have never lowered the flag of justice. ​ The Afghanistan Women's Freedom Window Movement emphasizes that the Taliban has deprived Afghan women of even the most basic rights. The movement asks: "How do you negotiate with a group whose hands are stained with the blood of thousands of innocent people?" ​ Reiterating women's human rights, the movement considers any meeting with the Taliban to be a betrayal of women and calls on the international community and human rights organizations to support Afghan women and freedom-loving people instead of negotiating and engaging with the Taliban. ​ The Afghanistan Women's Freedom Window Movement also considers engagement and legitimization of the Taliban to be an endorsement of terrorism in the world.
