Tuesday to protest against the closed schools for girls and accused the
international community of being silent about what is going on in Afghanistan,
Khaama Press reported.

gathered at the gates of UNAMA in Kabul said that the international community,
human rights group, and the United Nations are completely indifferent to the
restrictions imposed by the Taliban on Afghan women
The protesters said that the silence of the UN against the
ongoing situation in Afghanistan is “shameful”.
The women chanted “rights to education, rights to work, are
the fundamental rights of women” and “history will be ashamed of the silence of
the UN”.
In the meantime, the Afghan women wanted to get a chance to
meet with the head of UNAMA Deborah Lyons to talk to her about women’s rights
and to submit her letter in this regard, the report said.
