Researchers from Georgetown University (USA) studied the situation of women in 188 countries and identified Afghanistan as the most dangerous country for women in the world. This was reported by "Hasht e Subh Daily."
In the annual report of the research, dated December 31, 2025, it was noted that after Afghanistan, Yemen, Sudan, Haiti, and Burundi had the lowest ratings regarding women's safety and their rights. In Afghanistan, the social situation of women was evaluated based on three main criteria: inclusivity, justice, and safety. The safety of women in the country and the way they are treated are significantly lower compared to other countries, and women are part of the most vulnerable and unprotected social group in Afghanistan.
Due to numerous restrictions on women's rights to education and employment, their access to basic services and humanitarian aid is severely limited. This situation has placed Afghanistan in one of the lowest spots in the UN Gender Development Index, just after Yemen.
Furthermore, Afghanistan’s streets are not considered safe for women. The "Taliban" interim government strictly controls women’s behavior in public spaces, which restricts their freedom of movement, increasing the instability and insecurity in the country.
