OIC: asks IEA to allow females to get an education
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) called on the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) authorities to strive towards reopening schools and universities for girls.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA)_Monitoring, In a series of tweets the OIC General Secretariat expressed its disappointment over the decision announced on Saturday by the IEA’s ministry of higher education, banning female students from taking university entrance exams this year in all public and private universities across the country.
 
“This latest decree further tightens the sweeping restrictions proclaimed by the Kabul de facto authorities on girls’ and women’s access to education and public work,” OIC tweeted.
 
The ban comes shortly after the OIC Executive Committee convened on 11 January 2023 an Extraordinary Meeting on the “Recent Developments and the Humanitarian Situation in Afghanistan”.
 
The Final Communique of the meeting called on the IEA to “…strive towards reopening schools and universities for girls and enable them to enroll in all levels of education and all specializations required by the Afghan people.”
 
The organization urged IEA to reconsider this latest decision and earlier edicts especially for its far-reaching social and economic ramifications.
