For the first time since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August, secondary and high schools have reopened for girls in the western province of Herat.
After nearly three months, now girls from primary to high school in the western city of Herat can attend their classes, bringing hope for further development under new rule in the country.
This comes as the ban on Afghan girls to attend secondary schools is still in place in other provinces. The Taliban have recently said they will announce good news soon on older girls being allowed to go back to school, but urged the international community to help it fund the process as most external aid has been halted.
The protection of women’s rights has been one of the most sensitive issues since the Taliban takeover in August. Afghans as well as the international community hope the new government will provide education for all.
