The United Arab Emirates condemns the Taliban's decision to ban girls from higher education
The decision profoundly jeopardizes the international community’s efforts to engage with the Taliban in the interest of the Afghan people.
The UAE reaffirms that this decision, as well as the earlier bans on girls from accessing secondary education, violate fundamental human rights, contravene the teachings of Islam, and must be swiftly reversed.
The UAE will remain steadfast in its longstanding support for and commitment to Afghanistan’s sovereignty, stability, security, and prosperity, in cooperation with regional and international partners.
