Gender equality is 300 years away: Antonio Guterres warns

By IBNS
Mar 7, 2023 ..

New York: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday said progress in women’s rights won over decades is 'vanishing before our eyes'.


In his strong message, the UN chief said: "On the current track, gender equality is 300 years away."

"Together, let’s push back against misogyny and forward for women, girls and our world," he tweeted.

Guterres said voices of women and girls will not be silenced.

He made the remark at a time when women gathered outside Kabul University to protest against the Taliban's ban on female education in the war-torn nation and urged male students to reject attending the new academic session which commenced on Monday.

The new academic session for universities and other educational institutes in the country started on Monday.

A group of female students in a letter asked their lecturers and male classmates to boycott the new academic year. In the letter, they mentioned the slogan, “education for all or none” so that justice is served equally for everyone ignoring their gender, reports Khaama Press.

The Taliban, which came to power in Afghanistan by taking control of Kabul forcefully on Aug 15, 2021 after the foreign forces decided to leave the nation, banned women from attending university classes in December last year.
