Date: 04/06/1404 Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid announced the group's five-year strategy. In response to a question about the Taliban's plan to educate girls, he said that this is a "minor issue" and should be discussed separately. Without providing details, the Taliban spokesman said that the group's strategy includes education, health and other sectors. At the end of the press conference, he did not answer another question about girls' education. After taking control of Afghanistan, the Taliban have deprived women and girls of education and education. In its latest restriction, the group closed the doors of medical institutes to girls, while Afghanistan's health sector is facing a shortage of staff. However, the Taliban spokesperson in a press conference in Kabul on Tuesday called the group's five-year strategy a comprehensive, unified and long-term document and said that this document has been prepared to achieve fundamental goals. He added that the program will unify and coordinate the resources and activities of all ministries and departments to achieve the goals of the Taliban government. The Taliban spokesman added that the group's strategy includes three pillars: good governance and international relations, security and public order, and economy and social development.

The dismissal of girls’ education as a “minor issue” by Zabihullah Mujahid within the Taliban’s five-year strategy signals the deliberate institutionalization of gender-based exclusion rather than an oversight or transitional gap. by advancing a “comprehensive” national strategy while refusing to address the systematic denial of education to women and girls—including the closure of medical institutes—the Taliban entrench discrimination as a structural feature of governance. This approach not only violates core education and equality rights but also undermines public welfare, particularly in the health sector, where restrictions on girls’ education directly exacerbate staffing shortages and long-term societal harm.
