Afghan Women Face Education and Employment Restrictions Under Taliban Rule
Since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in August 2021, girls have been barred from secondary and higher education, and women face extensive restrictions on employment, movement, and personal freedoms. Over 2.2 million adolescent girls remain excluded from school, while women have lost jobs and face social isolation. Despite widespread awareness and protests by Afghan women demanding basic rights, these bans persist, severely impacting education, healthcare, and economic opportunities across the country.
