Karen Decker: Taliban Restrictions Deprive Women of Participation in Afghanistan's Future

In a post on her official account on the social media platform X on Wednesday (November 20), Decker emphasized that the United States remains committed to supporting equal access to education in Afghanistan.

She further asserted that Afghanistan will never achieve self-sufficiency and progress without the participation of women.

This comes as Afghan women and girls have been deprived of their fundamental right to education under the Taliban’s rule, a move that has drawn widespread domestic and international condemnation.
