EDN continues to prioritize capacity-building initiatives to address the ongoing education crisis in Afghanistan, as highlighted in its latest position paper. Marking 1,000 days since the Taliban banned girls from education, the paper underscores the need for alternative education systems, teacher training, and global support for inclusive education. EDN is committed to equipping educators and advocates with the tools and resources to bridge these gaps and foster sustainable change.
Open Letter to the UN Human Rights Council
EDN, in collaboration with global human rights organizations, urged the UN Human Rights Council to address the dire human rights crisis in Afghanistan. The letter called for renewing the Special Rapporteur’s mandate, creating an independent accountability mechanism, and recognizing gender apartheid as a crime under international law. These actions aim to combat widespread human rights abuses, particularly the systematic persecution of women and girls by the Taliban.
