Women's rights movement in Afghanistan

The women’s rights movement in Afghanistan seeks to promote gender equality, education, and protection for women and girls. Historically, Afghan women have faced challenges like restrictions on education, employment, and personal freedoms, especially under Taliban rule. Over the years, activists and international organizations have worked to advocate for women’s rights, often risking safety and facing cultural opposition. Despite setbacks, many Afghan women continue to strive for empowerment, advocating for access to education, legal rights, and social participation, aiming to achieve greater equality and security within Afghan society.
