A new UNESCO report examines the alarming state of the right to education in Afghanistan.
It provides an analysis of the evolving legal and institutional framework governing education since August 2021, drawing on a combination of desk-based research and on-the-ground interviews.
The report was launched in the wake of the High-Level Conference on Women and Girls in Afghanistan organized by UNESCO on 7 March. The systematic restrictions on girls and women have made Afghanistan the only country in the world where girls are barred from education beyond the primary level.
