Girls in Afghanistan want to go back to school

Published on: 13/09/2022

One year after the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, 17-year-old Mursal is still in disbelief that she can’t go back to school.

“It’s not right that they’re ordering us to hide our faces and stop going to school. I hope that young girls will not give up,” she says.

See how Mursal is giving back to her community with UNFPA’s help.
