The UN Special Envoy for Global Education said 54 of 80 edicts issued by the Taliban explicitly target women and girls and deprive them of their rights.

The Ministry of Women's Affairs has become the"feared ministry for the propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice" and the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission has been dissolved.

Brown called for the release of NGO leaders in prison, who are imprisoned for defending women's and girls' rights and urged the international community to show that education can get through to the people of Afghanistan. This is not about one religion against another but about"uniting to say that the clerics in Kandahar have misunderstood what the religious teaching of Islam is on this issue of girls education," he said.
