Karzai calls for immediate reversal of girls’ medical education ban​

KABUL (TOLOnews): Hamid Karzai, the former president of Afghanistan, has said that the closing of medical institutes to girls is “deeply regrettable, especially at a time when women and mothers across the country face severe health challenges.”

In a statement, Karzai emphasized that “the only path to self-reliance and the key driver of growth and development in our country in various dimensions is education.”

He urged the Islamic Emirate to “immediately reverse the decision banning girls from medical education and, in addition, reopen schools and universities to them as soon as possible to prevent the loss of young talents, which are the nation’s invaluable and primary asset.”

The former president added that “Afghanistan will overcome its reliance on foreign assistance and internal challenges only when it possesses a cadre of specialized and educated human resources. This can only happen if educational opportunities are available to all youth, both girls and boys.”

This comes amid widespread reactions, both domestically and internationally, to the closing of medical institutes to girls.

The European Union, in response to the Islamic Emirate’s decision, called it an “appalling violation of fundamental human rights.”

The statement reads, “The European Union expresses its strong concerns over this decision and its far-reaching implication, including the deepening of the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and the exacerbation of the suffering of its people.”

The statement further said that women’s participation in education and in the workforce is “not just a matter of equality — it is essential for the self-sufficiency, development, and prosperity of any nation.”

The EU urged the Islamic Emirate to reverse this decision and fulfill its obligations under international law, including ensuring equal access to education and basic healthcare for all Afghans.

As of now, the Ministry of Public Health has not officially commented to the media on the closing of medical institutes to girls.
 

Ban on women’s education in Medical Institutes in Afghanistan​

KABUL (Khaama Press): Students enrolled in medical programs at various health institutes in Afghanistan report that they were not allowed to attend classes on Tuesday, December 3rd.

Female students studying midwifery and nursing confirmed to Khaama Press that they were informed to stay home until further notice.

One student from a medical institute in western Kabul told Khaama Press that they were prohibited from entering their classrooms, and the staff vaguely informed them that “classes are temporarily suspended.” When students protested, the authorities at the institute explained that the Taliban had issued an order to close the institutes until further notice.

This directive from the Taliban regime, which is believed to have been communicated verbally, has sparked widespread reactions. Khaama Press attempted to contact the spokesperson and officials from the Ministry of Public Health of the Taliban for comment, but they declined to provide any responses by the time this report was compiled.

Robert Dickson, the Charge d’Affaires of the UK Embassy for Afghanistan, condemned the ban on girls’ education in medical fields. He posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that this move by the Taliban is another violation of women’s rights to education and further limits access to healthcare for Afghan women and children.

This decision comes at a time when Afghanistan urgently requires over 18,000 midwives, highlighting the serious implications for the country’s healthcare system, particularly for women’s health.

The suspension of education for women in medical programs is part of an ongoing series of restrictions placed on women’s rights in Afghanistan under the current Taliban regime.

The move is likely to exacerbate the already dire healthcare situation, particularly for women and children, who have limited access to medical care. This decision has drawn international condemnation and calls for the restoration of basic rights for women in Afghanistan.
 
Does this rule also apply to their trans women or are they exempt?
