Report: Half of Afghan Women Rarely Leave Home
UN Women said the restrictions have left half of surveyed women leaving home only once or twice a month and deepened legal discrimination.
- On August 6, 2026, Afghan fathers in Kabul continued seeking alternative ways to educate their daughters as the Taliban ban on secondary schooling affects at least one million girls nationwide.
- Taliban authorities returned to power in March 2022, subsequently barring girls from secondary schools based on their interpretation of Islamic law—the only such restriction existing globally.
- Families employ home tutoring with salvaged textbooks while others pay private schools around 10,000 Afghanis monthly, with no graduation certificates offered due to heightened risk.
- Nasir, a 47-year-old father, confided that his younger daughter "is depressed and does not always have strong morale to continue learning on her own at home."
- Despite European countries regularly denouncing Afghan restrictions on women, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany have refused visas to Afghan families, leaving fathers like Engineer Ahmad without clear pathways forward.
