Some girls’ high schools reopened in Afghanistan — Afghan girls read the Quran in the Noor Mosque outside the city of Kabul, Afghanistan, on Aug 3, 2022. Maulvi Bakhtullah, the head of the mosque, said that the number of girls who come to this mosque to learn Quran has multiplied after the closure of public schools. For most teenage girls in Afghanistan, itâs been a year since they set foot in a classroom. With no sign the ruling Taliban will allow them back to school, some girls and parents are trying to find ways to keep education from stalling for a generation of young women. | (AP Photo/Ebrahim Noroozi)
