More than 2.6 million girls in Afghanistan have been denied a secondary education in the five years since the de facto authorities took power.

UNICEF calls on the de facto authorities to lift the restrictions on education and allow all girls and women to return to schools and universities immediately.

Before we left a secret school in Afghanistan, 21 girls who risk being arrested by the Taliban for continuing their education handed @ImtiazTyab handwritten letters addressed to the rest of the world. These girls may not be able to speak freely to the world themselves. But they trusted us to carry their words beyond that basement — and we promised them we would.

Afghanistan: "I remain shocked by what Afghans share with me about physical & psychological abuse by Taliban officials," @SR_Afghanistan Richard Bennett told the @UN Human Rights Council.

"I am also inspired by Afghans, especially girls," who demand their rights, he said. #HRC63

"The women and girls are living in fear."

@AlexCrawfordSky describes Afghan society as living in a "dystopian nightmare", with women and girls missing from public life.

There is division in the Taliban about banning secondary age girls from pursuing an education - but does this leave hope for future change?

"Nobody wants to be like or end up like their parents in Afghanistan."

Parasto Hakim, who set up a network of secret schools across Afghanistan, says it is a "very shameful moment for the world watching and doing nothing" for Afghan women and girls.

Afghanistan has suffered more than 40 years of conflict and natural disasters.

Today, Afghans make up one of the largest refugee populations worldwide.

🔴 Day 1,814 since secondary schools closed to girls in Afghanistan.

The Taliban's five-year campaign to remove women from public life is not protecting Afghanistan - it is slowly tearing the country apart and eroding its reputation on the world stage.

You are not forgotten.

Strong, independent women make a society. Afghanistan will suffer from their ongoing exclusion from public life.

In the five years since the chaotic US withdrawal from Kabul and the Taliban's return to power, Afghanistan has become home to one of the world's worst human rights and humanitarian emergencies.

"To be very blunt, it's hell if you're a woman in Afghanistan," John Sopko, the former Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction told CNN. https://t.co/wwy82Wpmp9

🔴 Day 1,746 of the Taliban oppressing Afghan women.

A regime that stops girls going to school deserves accountability, not recognition. Silence is complicity.
