Women’s Education in Afghanistan

Women's education in Afghanistan has faced significant challenges due to political and cultural factors, especially under Taliban control. Historically, Afghan women have struggled with limited access to schooling, but there have been periods of progress. Since the Taliban's resurgence, many girls’ and women’s schools have been closed or restricted, impacting their ability to learn. Efforts by international organizations and advocates aim to restore women's access to education, recognizing it as essential for gender equality and societal development. Despite setbacks, many women and communities continue to advocate for educational rights, emphasizing the importance of empowering women through knowledge.
