The result of the suffering of history and anti-science


Afghanistan is a country where women face many ups and downs in all sectors. As half of the population of the society, women play a very important role in the mental health of the society and the family, considering this important issue, the religion of Islam has also considered a high position for women; But in the undecided society of Afghanistan, women have always been and are fighting in different directions to achieve their freedom and rights. The position of women in Islam is a unique position, a new position, something that has no equivalent. Unfortunately, in Afghanistan, no attention has been paid to women's religious and social rights, and most women not only do not have mental and physical security, but they are also deprived of their greatest rights, which is to acquire knowledge and have freedom in various fields. Afghanistan has become like an iron cage for women who only have to be satisfied with the role of mother and wife, and these disturbances forced women to fight for their most basic rights, and women were able to take advantage of the opportunities significantly in the last twenty years; Even though there were many challenges facing them, they were able to overcome it to some extent. In the past 20 years; The symbolic form of women's social presence changed over time and they were able to gradually include important plans and decisions, but due to the unexpected situation that arose and the collapse of the republican government, all the hopes and achievements of Afghan women were destroyed one by one. It forced women to fight and sue for the basic rights of their same sex. The issue of women's education has been mentioned many times in the Quran and prophetic hadiths, and education has been considered obligatory for both men and women. Also, women's education plays an important role in the development of society, and the continuation of the ban on women's education will cause the backwardness of future generations. In this regard, Churchill says: "Limit the women of a society, despise and ridicule them, make their greatest desire to be married and their most important art to be cooking and sewing, bring disaster on them so that they fear society, the seed of thought in the minds of fathers Sow seeds so that they believe that their daughters should be brought up in cages, take books and pens from their daughters and give them ladles and needles instead, call anyone who tried for women's freedom a servant of Satan and an enemy of God; I guarantee that such a society will not progress even if a thousand years pass." In addition to the imposed restrictions, other educational obstacles that face women's education include; Social misconceptions, economic problems, security challenges, lack of educational and educational centers, lack of female teachers in schools and educational institutions, immigration and displacement, family obstacles, early marriages, family discrimination between boys and girls, customs and traditions, too much housework Insinuations of lack of self-belief, lack of awareness of their Shariah and legal rights, government and political systems. Considering the existing challenges of women's educational barriers solutions, including; Increasing public awareness among the people, the growth of the family and community economy, measures to ensure greater security for women, strengthening educational institutions, making education universal, the role of religious scholars, providing suitable educational conditions for women, creating self-confidence in women, Women's awareness of their Shariah and legal rights and the government's responsibility for women's education. Regarding the government's responsibility towards women, it should be said that since women in our country and in any other country and society are not only important elements, but also a part of the body of the same society, they should be protected from all their human and Islamic rights. Dar, according to the high principles of Islam, the Afghan government is obliged to provide educational opportunities for Afghan women. The government of Afghanistan, as an Islamic country, is obliged to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of women's education, like other divine duties, and as the first step and the most important responsibility, which is the origin and beginning of other educations; Reopen girls' schools to girls. Because the awakening of the Islamic nation throughout history has been dependent on the awakening of the women of the nation, because women are the educators of men who cradle the world with one hand and shake the world with the other.
