Afghan girls flee forced marriage as Taliban's school ban enters fifth year

Millions of Afghan girls have been denied secondary education, forced into early marriage, and stripped of career opportunities and independence, with psychological trauma and generational impact.

For nearly five years, Afghanistan's girls have lived inside a closing door — one shut by decree in 2021, when the Taliban barred them from secondary education and, in doing so, redirected millions of young lives toward early marriage and foreclosed futures. What unfolds in Kabul and in villages across the country is not merely a policy dispute but a civilizational rupture: the deliberate erasure of a generation's capacity to imagine itself otherwise. The world has watched, and the girls have noticed the watching — and the silence that follows it.
