Description
Women's rights in Afghanistan have been supported and championed by Afghan and international advocates and organizations since 2002. Substantial progress has been made, but the women's rights movement faces an uncertain future in the wake of the 2014 international troop withdrawals. In addition to the potential for decreased financial and public support from international actors, women's rights advocates face the challenge of collaborating with a national government that has been mistrusted by the Afghan people while trying to promote norms and laws that often contradict deeply held community traditions. This report draws on numerous in-country interviews, discussions and debates to explore a way forward for women's rights in Afghanistan: promoting women's rights through an Islamic framework. Women's rights groups have increasingly been using Sharia-based arguments and working with religious leaders to give arguments for stronger women's rights protections more legitimacy. Greater understanding of how Islamic legal literacy, scholarship and dialogue might help protect women's rights in the coming difficult period is crucial.
