Khan, Nabi Criticize IEA’s Impact on Education of Women

Prominent Afghan cricketers Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi have voiced their strong opposition to the IEA’s recent closure of educational institutions for women, specifically those training to become nurses and midwives.

This development marks another setback for women’s rights in Afghanistan since the IEA’s takeover in August 2021, which already included bans on secondary and higher education for girls.

Rashid Khan expressed his dismay on social media, emphasizing the importance of education as central to Islamic teachings. He noted that the Quran promotes knowledge for all, regardless of gender.

It is with deep sadness that I reflect on the recent closures. This decision profoundly impacts the future of our society,” he stated.

He highlighted the urgent need for female medical professionals in Afghanistan, urging for the restoration of educational opportunities for women.

Mohammad Nabi echoed these sentiments, describing the ban on girls studying medicine as both heartbreaking and unjust.

He called on the IEA to reconsider their stance, stressing that education is a fundamental right for all. Nabi stated, “Denying girls the chance to learn is a betrayal of their dreams and our nation’s future.
