On Thursday, August 15th, members of the UFV and Fraser Valley community gathered to commemorate three years since the Taliban\u2019s takeover of Afghanistan. This is the second year this awareness-raising event has occurred at UFV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Women in Afghanistan have been banned from attending university since December 2022 and high school since September 2021. Now, girls older than Grade 3 are banned from attending to school.
