When were women suspended from universities in Afghanistan?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

Women’s university education was suspended in December 2022. UNESCO estimated that more than 100,000 young women enrolled in public and private institutions were directly affected at the time.

What the figure or term means

The measure also narrowed future pathways into health, education, science, and professional work.

Later affected populations are broader than the original enrollment count.

Use December 2022 for the policy event and preserve the source date for counts.

Use the source publication date when connecting an observance or historical event to a current statistic or appeal.
