Afghan Women's Movement

The Afghan Women's Movement refers to the ongoing effort by Afghan women to gain rights and improvements in their social, political, and economic status, especially following decades of conflict and Taliban rule. This movement has sought to advance education, healthcare, and legal protections for women. Activists face significant risks but continue to advocate for gender equality and women's empowerment. Notable events, such as the government's fall to the Taliban in 2021, highlighted the fragility of these gains, prompting renewed global attention to the plight of Afghan women and their steadfast determination for a better future.
