Women's Education in Afghanistan_Team B1I

Culturally, the Taliban’s traditional and conservative views on women’s roles in society may have influenced their decision to limit women’s education. In many traditional and patriarchal societies, there is a belief that women should primarily focus on domestic duties and raising children, rather than pursuing formal education or careers outside the home.

Yes, because the Taliban believe that schools and universities are not safe for girls and promote prostitution, so they decided to close schools and universities for girls

The Taliban’s previous rule in Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 saw severe restrictions on women’s rights and education. This historical precedent likely influenced their decision-making, as they sought to reimpose similar policies based on their past practices.

I agree. The Taliban’s traditional views on women’s roles likely shape their stance on education. It’s important to challenge these beliefs and promote the idea that education is valuable for everyone, regardless of gender.

The Taliban’s desire to maintain control and authority over Afghan society, particularly in relation to women’s rights and freedoms, likely played a significant role. By limiting women’s education, the Taliban can reinforce their power and ensure that women remain dependent on male authority figures, aligning with their broader political agenda.

The Taliban adheres to a strict interpretation of Islamic law that emphasizes traditional gender roles. They believe that women’s primary responsibilities lie within the home, and education for women is often viewed as contrary to their interpretation of Islam.

Yes, exactly Taliban emphasize traditional gender roles.

Thanks

In the name of Islam, the Taliban enforce their strict interpretation of Islamic law on the people of Afghanistan, often justifying their actions by claiming religious legitimacy. However, their policies, such as depriving girls of education, are widely contested and do not align with the core tenets of Islam. Numerous Islamic scholars and texts emphasize the importance of education for all, regardless of gender. This discrepancy highlights the difference between the Taliban’s practices and the broader, more inclusive teachings of Islam.

I totally agree with you, because The Taliban’s policies, such as depriving girls of education, do not align with the core tenets of Islam, which emphasize the importance of education for all, regardless of gender. Many Islamic scholars and texts support the right to education for everyone, highlighting the discrepancy between the Taliban’s practices and the broader, more inclusive teachings of Islam.

Hello

Great points

The Taliban maintains that girls do not have the right to a modern science education, asserting that if girls wish to study, they should only focus on religious sciences. In their view, Islam mandates that the education of girls and women be restricted to religious studies. This perspective, however, is not universally accepted within the Islamic world, as many Islamic scholars advocate for the education of both genders in various fields of knowledge, reflecting a more comprehensive understanding of Islamic teachings.

Yes but in reality this is not the real face of islam is to let the girls to get educated
