The situation of women in Afghanistan is critical
According to the recently published World Bank report called Women, Business and Law – 2024, Afghanistan ranks 178th in the world in terms of women’s participation in economic activities. A total of 190 countries were included in the report. The report focused on three key parameters, emphasizing the status of women in the legal framework, Policy formulation and implementation of laws and policies. The report assessed the status of women on the basis of a number of basic services such as workplace mobility, wages, property rights, motherhood rights, entrepreneurship, investments, child care, security, marriage and retirement rights. According to the Khaama Press report, Afghanistan received 20 points out of 100 for legal framework and 13.3 points out of 100 for policy making. Belgium, Denmark and Canada ranked highest on the list.
Almost 90 restrictions on women in Afghanistan
According to media reports, the World Bank report raises concerns because women in Afghanistan currently face many oppressive policies. Women in Afghanistan face about 90 restrictions, including employment, education and free movement, etc. Women’s interest in the private sector and business has increased in Afghanistan in the past two years Sadika Tufen, who runs a handicraft shop, says that the demand for jobs in workshops has increased, the main reason for this being the denial of employment and education to women.
The Taliban claims – gives a life of prosperity and peace
Last year, amid reports of girls being denied education, suppression of women’s rights and their exclusion from public life, the Taliban claimed that under its rule, all possible steps were taken to improve women so that they could live in prosperity. And a peaceful life can live the life. The supreme leader of the Taliban Hibatullah Akhundzada claimed that during the rule of the Islamic Emirate, women were freed from all bad practices such as forced marriage.
