He said when girls receive the right healthcare, they grow up with greater self-confidence and bodily autonomy.
I am extremely concerned by the continued exclusion of girls from school in Afghanistan.

This is deeply damaging to girls themselves & to a country that desperately needs their energy & contributions.
This #DayOfTheGirl, I once again urge the Taliban to let girls learn.
António Guterres said let us redouble our efforts to make sure girls everywhere are healthy, educated and safe.
