More than 900 days have now passed since girls over 12 were first banned from education. According to Unicef, the ban has now impacted some 1.4m Afghan girls.

The future for many of Afghanistan's girls is "bleak", warns Samira Hamidi, Amnesty International's regional campaigner - pointing to the fact young girls are continuing to be married off when they reach puberty, and are further endangered by the Taliban's rollback of laws designed to protect women in abusive marriages.
