The Taliban Won't Let
Girls Go to School. This Harms
Everyone. | | |
A little over a year ago, the
Taliban took power in Afghanistan. Since then, human
rights violations against women and girls have
skyrocketed. Afghan girls
ages 12 to 18
are still not allowed to attend
school. It's estimated that more than
a million girls have been banned from
attending high school over the past year, according to
the United Nations. This statistic alone is a tragedy,
but it also creates a deep power and class imbalance for
women and girls.
Research shows that a
core component of eradicating global poverty is giving
girls access to education. In addition to the
higher risk of poverty, uneducated girls are also at
greater risk of child marriage, violence, and prone to
diseases. It's imperative that the
International Criminal Court (ICC) take action against
the Taliban for the harm it's doing to women and girls
by restricting their access to education. Sign the petition to
demand the ICC investigate the Taliban for its crimes
against humanity regarding women and
girls. | | |
