Women in Afghanistan face many challenges to equality and basic rights. They have less access to education, employment opportunities, and political participation than men. Many girls are unable to attend school and women often face domestic abuse without legal protection. The security situation in Afghanistan also disproportionately impacts women and girls, restricting their freedom and safety. Advocates argue that the international community, including the US government, must pressure Afghanistan to further support women's rights and improve conditions.
