The issue

Afghanistan has returned to the dark ages! There are many girls and women that are currently not in education or left education at a very young age. Luckily, in most countries this is not a problem but for the not so fortunate places that this is a problem for it is an incredibly serious one and we need to help them get their rights back!

Afghanistan is the only country in the world where girls are prohibited from going to secondary school and over 3 million of them are denied education. Women have also been removed from most government jobs or are staying at home for a fraction of their former salaries.


This action needs to be taken immediately after 10 years of Afghanistan gradually evolving; they went back into the dark ages and banned women's rights. Indian females on an average earn 64% of what their male counterparts earn for the same time and level of qualification and Afghanistan females earn less than 16% than of their male counterparts.


But how is this happening even though education is a human right to all genders? Why have some places not made the change? Why do some places have such low equal rights that education is now banned for women in Afghanistan. These are the questions we need to ask ourselves. Spread awareness for others.


Now we can see a small fraction of the true dilemma, but it has given us the perspective to take action. These are our fellow women struggling and fighting for their rights! If we are to turn heads to this cause, we need to make some noise. Some ways we can spread awareness of this dilemma can be as simple as posting photos about the female education crisis or talking to people who may not be aware of the problem. Make education for all genders right again!
