Georgetown University Research: Security and Justice for Afghan Women Are Almost Gone.

This report shows that in the past year, one out of every five women in these countries has faced violence at home. The assessment of women's status is based on three indicators: inclusion, justice, and security, and Afghanistan is at the bottom of the global table in terms of security and access to justice.


In contrast, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland provide the best conditions for women. The report also states that Afghan women and girls are among the most vulnerable groups, and this country has the worst performance among the fragile governments of South Asia in ensuring women's rights.


Severe restrictions on women's work and education have drastically reduced their access to services and assistance, and since 2023, families under the guardianship of women have lost about 40 percent of their income. In addition, more than half of Afghan women have experienced gender-based violence at least once.


The report emphasizes that since the Taliban returned to power, women's access to justice has significantly decreased, and restrictive policies have further threatened women's security, livelihoods, and social presence.

According to a recent study by Georgetown University's Institute for Women, Peace and Security, Afghanistan ranks among the seven worst countries for women out of 188 countries worldwide and has the worst situation. After Afghanistan, Yemen, the Central African Republic, Syria, Sudan, Haiti, and Burundi occupy the lowest ranks.
