UN Wants To Recognise Gender Apartheid In Afghanistan, Says Gordon Brown

Brown called the Taliban's restrictions on women and girls the most severe violation of girls' rights in the world.

"Adolescent girls are deprived of education and basic freedoms of life, and the United Nations intends to recognize it as gender apartheid," he said at a news conference.

The former British prime minister and UN special envoy for global education continued that many organisations are currently supporting Afghan girls by providing online education and scholarships.

The UN official also called on all countries, especially Muslim countries, to unite and call for an end to the oppression of girls in Afghanistan.

Since returning to power in August 2021, the Taliban has banned girls' education in schools and universities.
