Kabul: A small group of Afghan high school students protested in the western city on Monday Herat to denounce Taliban Steps to stop girls from going to school.
Thirteen schoolgirls, aged between 15 and 18, gathered in a residential area on the outskirts of Herat, with no Taliban presence, to avoid their attention. Some local journalists invited by the girls covered the rally.
Protesters put up banners demanding they be able to return to school, saying that barring girls from education would leave an entire future nation uneducated.
“We ask them (the Taliban) to reopen our schools at the earliest,” said 17-year-old Nargis Jamshed, a protester. They said that by not attending school, it seems that we are going backward.
“We demand that all girls should go back to their schools and all women should be allowed to go back to their jobs,” he said. sharara sarvari, 18.
