AI Summary
The United Nations reports that five years after the Taliban seized power in 2021, 2.4 million Afghan girls are barred from attending secondary school. The Taliban first prohibited girls from secondary schools shortly after taking control, and later expanded the ban to include higher‑education institutions. This widespread restriction has effectively shut out a large cohort of girls from continuing their education beyond primary level.
