The advantages of online education are many, but in the situation where you are like a bird in a cage, no matter how much you fly and you can’t get out of the cage until the end, the motivation of online lessons decreases. Like the current situation of Afghan women, it is difficult to find a job after completing online courses.
You’ve highlighted an important aspect of online education that often gets overlooked—the context in which learners find themselves can significantly impact their ability to benefit from online courses. Here’s a breakdown of the challenges faced by Afghan women in the context you described, as well as some considerations about online education:
As a citizen concerned about basic human rights and the empowerment of women, your demand for Afghan women to be allowed to work and have access to education is both understandable and deeply important. Here are some key reasons why this demand is crucial:
Human Rights: Access to education and employment are fundamental human rights. Every individual, regardless of gender, should have the opportunity to pursue education, develop skills, and contribute to society through meaningful work.
Hello, good time friends, you are doing very well.
Thank you Mr. Sohail i am find what about you
The Taliban’s decision to close schools for women comes from their strict and outdated beliefs about gender roles. They think that women should stay at home, which limits their chances to get an education and take part in society. This action is a violation of human rights and marks a significant step backward for Afghanistan.
Definitely
I am fine , thank U
The Taliban consider the presence and activity of women in the society against their intellectual foundations and therefore prevent their presence in the society.
It is good to talk today about the consequences and effects of banning the education of girls.
The Taliban are not ready to respect the right to work and education of women and girls, unless the social and international pressure on the government of this group increases so that Afghan women can be saved from the crisis of lack of education.
Absolutely! Access to education and employment for Afghan women is essential for upholding human rights. It empowers women, fosters economic growth, and contributes to a more equitable society. Ensuring these rights is not only a moral imperative but also crucial for the overall development of Afghanistan.
Afghan women face significant challenges in accessing education and employment, particularly with online learning, which often fails to address deeper societal barriers. The metaphor of a “bird in a cage” illustrates their frustration in gaining knowledge without the opportunity to apply it.
To effectively support Afghan women, we must go beyond providing online classes. Establishing clear job pathways, mentorship programs, and partnerships with local businesses is essential to connect education with employment opportunities. Additionally, fostering broader societal changes is crucial for enabling women to participate fully in their communities and economies.
UNICEF said in an analytical report on August 15 (24 Asad) that the continuation of this situation will have a “destructive effect on the economy of this country”. According to UNICEF, the economic cost of keeping Afghan girls away from education is equal to 2.5 percent of Afghanistan’s annual gross domestic product.
It is unfortunate that the world observes this brutal repression and systematic gender apartheid, but not only does not show a reasonable and effective response to it, but by adopting the method of appeasement and tolerance with the Taliban, they turn a blind eye to their discriminatory policies.
the situation regarding education for girls in Afghanistan remains dire and deeply concerning. For nearly three years now, since the Taliban resumed control, girls above the sixth grade have been barred from attending school. This policy represents a significant setback for gender equality and access to education, which are fundamental human rights.
Indeed, the Taliban’s policies regarding women’s rights, including their access to education and work, have been deeply restrictive and regressive. Despite some assurances of change, their actions on the ground often contradict these statements. The international community plays a crucial role in applying pressure and advocating for the rights of Afghan women and girls.
Increasing social and international pressure on the Taliban government is essential to bring about meaningful change. This pressure can take various forms:
UNICEF’s analysis underscores the profound economic consequences of denying Afghan girls access to education. Here are a few key points that highlight the significance of this issue:
