Students from different universities have started a social media campaign called "Education Either for all or Nobody" to protest the suspension of universities for female students.

The campaign's coordinator said that it will be implemented in many provinces with the goal of allowing female students to go to universities.

"We will also boycott men's education until our sisters are allowed to study again,” said Ajmir Sadat, campaign coordinator.

In reaction to the Ministry of Higher Education's recent decision to suspend universities for female students, several male students have also left their classes.

"We will not attend our classes until our sisters and girls are permitted to attend their classes,” said Abass Qambari, a student.

Zamira Kamin, a recent journalism graduate from one of Kabul's private universities, said that she was denied the chance to defend her diploma project.

"I worked to finish my monograph day and night, but two or three days later we heard the news. The university has informed us that you are not able to defend your dissertation nor can you obtain your diploma,” Zamira said.

Meanwhile, some female students urged the Islamic Emirate to let females attend schools and colleges and to stop denying women access to education.

“We ask the Islamic Emirate to open schools and universities to Afghan women and girls,” said Humira Shakoor, a student.

“The implementation of this decree will lead Afghanistan to a state of darkness and ignorance,” said Jalaluddin Balkhi, a university lecturer.

The Islamic Emirate's decision to suspend universities and other higher education institutions for women has sparked national and international reactions, and the majority of nations have urged Afghanistan's current administration to review the decision.
