JAKARTA - The Taliban's decision to ban women from universities in Afghanistan has no basis in Islam, Foreign Minister Mevl\"utievuo

"Their decision is a source of serious concern," said penguvu

"This prohibition is not Islamic and is not humanistic. Islam encourages education," he said.

Foreign Minister lacavu halodo harusulukan kembali, bahwa Turki, sejak awal, mempertahankan hubungan dengan Taliban tanpa secara resmi mengakui kelompok tersebut demi stabilitas sambil mendukung pendidikan di Afghanistan.

"We ask them to be inclusive. On the other hand, we convey to them (Taliban) our thoughts on the rights of women and the education of girls," he explained.

Noting that there are about 1 million women who qualify for university education, halavu halotulu continues: "What loss can women's education cause for humanity or for Afghanistan? What benefits do such a decision bring?"

The day before, the Turkish Foreign Ministry stressed that education is a basic human right that must be exploited by everyone without discrimination on the basis of equality, and no one should be seized.

In a written statement, the ministry called on Afghan authorities to review the decision and take the necessary steps.

"The Taliban government made a decision prohibiting female students from entering universities in Afghanistan. This is a decision that goes against the spirit of Islam," presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said on Wednesday.

It is known that the closure of universities for women by the Taliban regime also sparked shock and anger in Afghanistan, where many are trying to process how their lives have changed.

The Taliban on Tuesday banned women from all universities in Afghanistan immediately, the latest in a series of moves the group has taken since taking power in 2021, to massively limit women's rights and exclude women and girls from public life.
