The situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated significantly since the Taliban regime took over, with human rights violations at an all-time high.

Children are not exempt from the oppressive policies of the Afghan Taliban.

The Taliban’s harsh restrictions and brutalities are taking a toll on the mental health of Afghan children.

A large number of children in Afghanistan are suffering from psychological issues.

The UNICEF report has raised alarms about the increasing stress and high rates of depression among Afghan children.

According to UNICEF, more than 24% of children aged 5 to 17 in Afghanistan are experiencing various mental health problems.

Approximately 15% of Afghan children are suffering from severe depression, according to UNICEF.

The main causes of mental illnesses among Afghan children include war, insecurity, family displacement, natural disasters, poverty, and particularly the ban on girls’ education.

The lack of effective solutions to health and education issues is also a major factor contributing to the rising stress among Afghan children.

Over the past three years, children in Afghanistan have endured various psychological and emotional traumas, with girls potentially facing greater insecurity compared to boys.

For girls in Afghanistan, obtaining an education has become a difficult challenge, while for boys, poverty and unemployment have become severe issues.

Psychologists have expressed deep concern about the mental health and personality development of Afghan children under the current conditions.

Will the Taliban government take any practical steps to protect children after this shocking UNICEF report, or will it continue to show negligence?
