The State of Afghan Women; From injustice to accomplishment of sexual justice

“Sexual equality” and “Empowering women” is among the eight development goals set by the United Nations for the third millennium, and the objective of these goals is to actualize half the human capital of societies which is owned by women. In Afghanistan following the Bon summit and the collapse of Taliban, based on the achievement of this goal, debates on the implementation of sexual equality in all grounds are going on, to the extend that the presence of women and their share in the social arena has turned into an important measure for the global society in the course of democratization of Afghanistan. Sexual justice in the field of politics will lead to equal political contribution alongside men; this vital issue accounts for the main focus of this paper. Given that sexual justice and women’s empowerment has been laid on the top of the plan for peace, reconstruction and development of Afghanistan, it is appropriate to analyse this key element on the political grounds; since nowdays sexual development and women’s empowerment, to a level that under a set framework women could take active role in decision making and implementing those decisions in a mass scope, has become an essential parameter of development. And this is not possible except through active, conscious and effective political contribution of women in the society. This research is dedicated to presenting an image of what the Afghan women have paid in the way of achieving their social and political right, and to provide an answer for this question that: why through out the history of Afghanistan, the scheme of women’s empowerment is faced with defeat?
