Women's Education in Afghanistan “You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation” Brigham Young (“Good Reads,” 2008). I started with this remarkable quote to support my topic and show how important women's education is to any community and nation. I chose to write about women's rights to education in Afghanistan. I believe that women's education is necessary for the development of any country. In fact, women are mothers, sisters and daughters and they deserve to be part of society. Furthermore, women must be treated the same as men, so that they can be productive in their country and contribute to its development. Women should be independent and have the right to study and join schools and colleges. In fact, they can be effective citizens if given enough support. A woman who can actively participate in the development process, improve the economic power of the country, raise the economic level and for her family, can raise the level of personal income. Women must have the basic knowledge to be able to face different problems of life. They need to be educated to know about different diseases and participate in the development of their country. Furthermore, the lack of education of women can be a cause of social and economic problems. It will not contribute to the development of their country if the government does not believe in the importance of women's education. Like Nelson The role of women's education in development. Mandela said: “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world. » (“Good Reads”, 2008). Women's education in Afghanistan remains a big problem facing the Afghan community. The serious situation of illiterate women in Afghanistan that the Afghan society faces is poverty, poor health care and lack of awareness.References:1. Happy reading. (January 23, 2008).
