How will these resources help you?

Afghanistan has been occupied by foreign countries several times in recent decades, and millions have fled as refugees. It is one of the poorest countries in the world. Women in particular suffered the loss of their rights after the Soviet invasion in 1979, and during the civil conflict of the 1980s and 1990s. Under the Taliban government of 1996 to 2001, women were prevented from studying or working outside the home – a situation that has returned since the Taliban regained power in 2021. These resources discuss Afghan history and women’s rights and include material about Afghan girls’ and women’s lives under the Taliban.
