Though Afghanistan’s girls are still fighting for equal access to education and the right to learn, an estimated 2.5 million girls are now officially enrolled in schools.
According to the law, women are allowed to go to school and get an education. However, education for girls is frowned upon and even despised. Many Afghan families will only permit their daughters to attend all-girls schools close to home and few such schools exist. Other families believe it is unnecessary for girls to be educated.
Shabana Basij-Rasikh co-founded her home country's first boarding school for girls in 2008, the nonprofit School of Leadership, Afghanistan (SOLA) in Kabul, and it offers college prep courses and helps graduates get into universities around the world.
Most of the girls go to school for about 3-5 years, most don't make it to middle school, and many teens are married off and can't continue school.
It all depends on the situation. Like if the husband allows his wife/wives out of the house and to get a job.
