Women's Education in Afghanistan_Team B1F

Yes, education is the way that a person achieves economic autonomy and becomes self-sufficient, and education alone cannot meet social and food needs.

It is indeed unfortunate that the world is witnessing severe repression and a systematic implementation of gender apartheid by the Taliban in Afghanistan. The Taliban’s policies, which include denying girls access to education beyond a certain grade and imposing strict restrictions on women’s rights and freedoms, represent a significant violation of human rights and principles of equality.

The Taliban are not at all satisfied with the education of girls, but the point here is, what effective way has the international community done to have a positive effect on the education process so far?

Afghanistan is a country with a rich history and culture that has always faced many challenges and changes. One of the most important and sensitive issues in this country today is the state of girls’ schools and the future of girls. The closure of girls’ schools not only has profound effects on the lives of girls and their families, but also affects the future of the entire society.

Because maybe they don’t want to get Afghanistan out of this crisis. In my opinion, only the people and the government can find a solution.

Yes, the world overlooks the deprivation of Afghan girls and nothing has been done in this regard.

The international community has employed several strategies and initiatives to positively impact the education of girls in Afghanistan, despite challenges posed by the Taliban’s restrictive policies. Here are some effective ways the international community has worked towards improving girls’ education

Exactly, they don’t do anything other than open the border, they just talk, but none of them understand.

You’re right; the Taliban’s stance on women’s rights and education remains deeply concerning. Here are some effective ways in which increased social and international pressure could help improve the situation for Afghan women and girls:

Banning the education of girls has profound and far-reaching consequences that impact not only individuals and families but also societies as a whole

Currently, millions of Afghan girls are denied access to education. Girls’ schools are closed in many areas and girls are deprived of their fundamental right to education. This situation not only endangers the individual future of these girls, but also disrupts the social and economic development of the country.

Depriving half of the population of their most basic rights can only happen in the territory of the Taliban. Unfortunately, a part of the society agrees with this approach of the Taliban to a large extent and gives reason for it from religious texts and cultural and traditional values.

Exactly, it will have more dire consequences if it is the same in the future

Girls’ lack of access to modern education puts them in a dilemma. Some of them are forced to turn to Taliban religious schools and study in those spaces to escape from numbness and depression. Currently, tens of thousands of female students are studying in religious schools.

Education is a gateway to endless opportunities and possibilities. Girls who are deprived of education will be deprived of access to good jobs, decent income and better life. They cannot achieve their dreams and build a better life for themselves and their families.

Absolutely! Education is vital for empowering girls and unlocking opportunities. Without it, they face barriers to good jobs and a better quality of life, hindering their ability to achieve their dreams and support their families. Investing in girls’ education is essential for a brighter future for all.

During the three years that the Taliban have been in power, they started building a school for girls, many girls were attracted to extremist ideas and some of them married the Taliban. The Taliban, who generally have a desire for polygamy and now have the power and authority to make decisions, by abusing the atmosphere of religious schools, choose their second, third and fourth wives from among female students and satisfy their sexual desires.

Religious issues that every Muslim should learn, but it would be good if they also learn modern education because the people need it in this field as well.

While it is true that the international community has made efforts to improve girls’ education in Afghanistan, I would argue that these strategies have often been insufficient or inadequately implemented, especially in the face of the Taliban’s restrictive policies.
Many initiatives, such as funding for schools or providing educational materials, may not reach the girls who need them most due to the current political climate and security concerns. Moreover, some programs may lack cultural sensitivity or fail to engage local communities effectively, leading to limited impact.

Reopening schools for girls requires a focused approach. We need better school buildings that are safe and good for learning. Communities must understand and support girls going to school. Governments need to give money and make rules that help girls go to school. Teachers should get special training to teach girls well. These efforts together will make sure girls can learn just like boys and succeed in life.
