Afghanistan’s Education Crisis: Ensuring Access to Education for Women and Girls

Afghanistan is the only country in the world where women and girls are denied an education because of their gender. As the Taliban’s rule continues, Afghan women and girls face a dark future without proper access to education, and are caught in a tortuous cycle of disappointment and despair. Despite the unprecedented challenges they face, Afghan women refuse to accept full-scale reversal of their hard-earned gains and demand their right to access and quality education. International attention is urgently needed to coordinate and scale up efforts to enable women in Afghanistan to access their inalienable human right to education.
On March 27, Onward for Afghan Women - an initiative of The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) - co-hosted a high-level event that brought together Afghan experts, international partners, diplomats and leading policymakers to reflect on the urgency of this situation, and share their top recommendations for ensuring a future for Afghan girls’ education.
This event was hosted by the Embassy of Italy, Women in International Security Italy and the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security.
