Hello,
My final decision is to write an article about the inequality in Afghanistan.
Information that I found about this theme:
- As in all war-torn societies, women suffer disproportionately. Afghanistan is still ranked the worst place in the world to be a woman. Despite Afghan government and international donor efforts since 2001 to educate girls, an estimated two-thirds of Afghan girls do not attend school.
- Women in Avghanistan never have any choices.
- Women there marry whom they make their consul.
- In Afghanistan are struggling to live with dignity. It also highlights how, in the face of little governmental support and dwindling international aid, women are stepping in to help one another.
- In Afghanistan from 1996 until 2001, a period in which women were essentially invisible in public life, barred from going to school or working.
- Government statistics from 2014 show that 80 percent of all suicides are committed by women, making Afghanistan one of the few places in the world where rates are higher among women.
- Psychologists attribute this anomaly to an endless cycle of domestic violence and poverty.
- The 2008 Global Rights survey found that nearly 90 percent of Afghan women have experienced domestic abuse.
- “The government wants to say they’re prioritizing women,” But they’re really not. Transparency International ranked Afghanistan the fourth most corrupt country in the world, noting that corruption hampers humanitarian aid from getting where it needs to go.
Afghanistan works to promote gender equality across programmes in many ways, including by:
• Widening the participation of young girls in formal and informal schooling;
• Supporting female teachers and vaccinators;
• Promoting adolescent health through the provision of iron folic acid in schools to prevent anemia;
• Providing gender separated sanitation facilities and menstrual hygiene management in schools to encourage girls to enroll and stay in school;
• Working to prevent child marriage;
• Supporting quality maternal care;
• Ensuring equality in access to health and nutrition services.
