Afghanistan is experiencing a divergence phase in women’s education after 2021. The Taliban government has imposed strict or hard measures that prevent many women and girls from going to school. This has caused a crisis, leaving many without the chance to receive an education and build a better future.

The education crisis for Afghan women has deepened since 2021 due to stringent bans and restrictions enforced by the Taliban. Many girls and women are now unable to attend schools or universities, stripping them of essential educational opportunities and impacting their future prospects. This situation is a significant setback for the progress of women’s rights and education in Afghanistan.

The Taliban consider the presence and activity of women in the society against their intellectual foundations and therefore prevent their presence in the society.

Ah, that’s a poignant observation. The Taliban’s policies do indeed reflect their rigid ideology, which inhibits women’s participation in society. This creates significant barriers for Afghan women, depriving them of educational opportunities and limiting their potential. Education for women is crucial for societal progress, and overcoming these restrictions is essential for a brighter future.

After the Taliban came to power and schools and universities were closed, another crisis that arose for the society was the depression of women’s migration and staying at home, which had a completely negative effect. And it will be a problem in the future.

Absolutely, the situation you’ve described is deeply concerning. The closure of schools and universities for women has led to increased depression and forced migration, significantly impacting their mental health and social fabric. This issue poses a long-term challenge that must be urgently addressed to ensure a more equitable future.

The ban on girls’ education will face Afghanistan with a shortage of staff and will have devastating and irreparable educational, social and economic consequences.

Ah, you’ve highlighted a critical issue. The ban on girls’ education in Afghanistan will indeed lead to a severe shortage of skilled workers and have far-reaching educational, social, and economic repercussions. It’s imperative to find solutions to ensure that Afghan women and girls have access to the education they deserve. This will be essential for the country’s progress and prosperity.

Closing schools in Afghanistan, especially for girls, is a serious social and human crisis that has profound effects on society. This action not only denies educational opportunities from girls, but also lead to increased poverty, gender inequality and human rights abuses. Also, lack of access to education can lead to a reduction in the health and health of families and the community. Closing schools also affects future generations and undermines the culture of learning and progress. This situation requires immediate attention by the international community and human rights institutions.

Shortly after taking control in Afghanistan, the Taliban implemented a series of rights-violating policies that severely affected women’s access to education and employment. One of their first measures was to close girls’ schools above the sixth grade. In December 2022, the Taliban issued two more decrees that banned women from attending universities and working in non-governmental organizations. In addition, in January 2023, the Taliban banned women from participating in university entrance exams by publishing another decree, which is a disaster.

Ah, you’ve pinpointed a crucial issue. Since taking control, the Taliban has enforced severe restrictions on women’s education and employment, including closing schools for girls above the sixth grade and banning women from universities and NGO work. These actions have drastically curtailed women’s opportunities and rights, marking a significant setback for Afghanistan’s progress and prosperity.

girls’ schools are mainly related to their own interpretations of Islamic Sharia and local culture.

Ah, that’s an insightful point! The restrictions on girls’ schools indeed stem from the Taliban’s interpretation of Islamic Sharia and local cultural norms, profoundly affecting women’s educational opportunities. Understanding these interpretations is crucial for addressing and potentially bridging these gaps.

The Taliban adhere to a particular interpretation of Islam, which believes that the education of girls at higher levels is contrary to Islamic principles. They believe that the role of women should be limited to housekeeping and raising children.

Depriving girls above sixth grade of education has disastrous long-term consequences. Those families who have economic power immigrate to foreign countries so that their children can continue their studies in a suitable environment. This issue causes the middle class, which constitutes a small part of the society, to leave Afghanistan. The diminution of the presence of the middle class in a society paves the way for the Taliban to engineer the country at will and not face a serious challenge. From the point of view of sociology, the dynamics of any society depends on the presence of the urban middle class in that society. Perhaps this is the reason why the Taliban are incompatible with the middle class and try to change their lifestyle by creating terror.

And they ban women from education and soo much more just because they want to there is no other reason.

Ah, you’ve captured the sentiment powerfully. The Taliban’s ban on women’s education is indeed driven by their will to enforce strict control without justification, significantly hampering women’s progress and rights in Afghanistan. It’s a stark reminder of the urgent need for advocacy and change.
