The United Nations has reported that approximately 2.4 million girls in Afghanistan are currently banned from secondary education due to the Taliban's policies. This ban, which prevents girls from studying beyond primary school, has been in place since the Taliban's return to power in 2021. The UN's education body, UNESCO, has urged an end to this policy, warning that the number of affected girls could rise to nearly four million by 2030 if the ban continues, and has characterized the restrictions as "gender apartheid."
