Educating Women in Kabul

In Kabul, many young girls are forced to drop out or forcibly leave before entering the third year. As attendance rate declined, the school was forced to close. Instead of keeping young girls in school and continuing their work, teachers give up on the economic impact. Working conditions are not the best; real teachers are not available and teachers are unpaid. (July 2006, Jackie Kirk and Rebecca Winthrop) In Kabul, a young woman was pregnant, forbidden to participate in family customs, and was unable to attend school due to lack of funds (Katsuma Yasushi, 2004).

One of the universities responsible for women's education is Afghan American University in Kabul. They did not encounter any problems. In 2016, they experienced massive shooting to close schools for several months. In April 2017, they resumed. (Brookings)

President of Afghanistan Ashraf Ghani plans to establish the first girls college in Kabul. This will provide educational opportunities for girls who are not allowed to study at other universities. Preparation to the university is in progress, but the government has not yet said what to do. Educational institutions for women and girls are often Taliban targets in Afghanistan, as radicalists believe that education for women is pious. Former Oklahoma City Police Commissioner Daniel Holzkelau last month was convicted of sexual assault and rape of African-American women over a dozen of six months or less. On Thursday he was sentenced to imprisonment for 263 years. During the trial, the prosecutor said that Holtzclaw thought that their "drug or prostitution record could hurt some assertion against him" and therefore intentionally made black victims of previous criminal records intentional in the poor communities I criticized you for looking into.

Before the Taliban bought it in 1996, Afghanistan was a very different female country. Between the 1930s and the 1970s, Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, was admired as Central Asia. By the early 1990s, 70% of teachers, 50% of civil servants and college students, and 40% of urban doctors were women. However, subsequent tribal war, coupled with foreign invasions and Taliban domination, brought about a sharp decline in these numbers that were promising in the past. For women in Afghanistan today, statistics are awful: more than half are widows of war, 85% are not formally educated.
