EDN’s latest position paper highlights the urgent need for inclusive and equitable education for girls in Afghanistan. As part of its Capacity Development work, EDN is designing programs to train teachers, develop gender-sensitive curriculum, and advocate for policies that ensure educational access for all.
Demanding UN Accountability for Afghan Women’s Rights
In a strongly worded letter, EDN and its partners criticized the UN’s normalization of the Taliban’s education ban and called for a robust UN presence in Afghanistan. The letter urged the UN to advocate for formal education for girls and reject madrassas as a substitute, reinforcing the need for genuine human rights-focused leadership in UN missions.
