Director-General of UNESCO, Audrey Azoulay, has decided to dedicate this year’s International Day of Education (January 24) to Afghan girls and women.
On the occasion of an event organized at the UN headquarters, UNESCO will renew its call to immediately restore their fundamental right to education, UNESCO said in a statement.
Raihana, a nursing college student, said UNSECO and other international organizations need to take practical steps to overcome the problem for women and girls in Afghanistan.
