Cairo, December 22, 2022, SPA -- The Organization for the Development of Women of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Member States strongly condemned the Afghan government's decision to deny Afghan girls' right to university education. In a statement released today, the organization affirmed that the decision to prevent female students from attending universities will deny women their right to social justice, employment opportunities, and education, calling upon the Afghan government to reverse this hasty decision, which is against Islamic law and Afghan women's basic rights. --SPA 19:15 LOCAL TIME 16:15 GMT 0028 www.spa.gov.sa/w1830170
