United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) Chief of Human Rights Fiona Frazer, in an interview with TOLOnews said that they are trying to interact with the Islamic Emirate so that they can reopen girls’ school in Afghanistan.

“I think that we need to continue to keep raising what we see as concerns on the ground and to keep interacting and engaging with the de facto authorities…” she said.

Frazer considers the closing of girls' schools an obstacle to the country's progress and said that this will have a bad effect on the country's economy and progress.

“We do have the fact that girls are no longer able throughout Afghanistan to go to secondary school. One of the points that we make related to this is that it is really interrupting a generation of girls’ basic education,” she said.

Recently former President Hamid Karzai on Twitter welcomed the gathering of clerics and elders in Kunar province which called for the reopening of schools for girls above sixth grade.

Karzai said the development and prosperity of Afghanistan depends on the education of girls and boys, and he asked the Islamic Emirate to respect the voice of the country's clerics and elders and reopen the girls' schools.

"How long will our fate not be clear? We ask the Islamic Emirate to not play with the fate of Afghan women,” Atifa Habibi, a student told TOLOnews.

Since the Islamic Emirate took power, it has been 310 days that girls’ above sixth grade have not attended school.

"If they don't have the will to reopen schools and respect women's rights in Afghanistan, then it will make the process of recognition challenging, like the last ten months,” said Farah Mustafawi, a women’s rights activist.

The closure of girls' school has provoked a wide range of national and international reactions, and the Afghans and the international community repeatedly asked the Islamic Emirate to reopen girls’ schools.
