“This study adopts a qualitative case study methodology to conduct an in-depth exploration of 12 carefully selected cases from six provinces [Kabul, Balkh, Herat, Nangarhar, Badakhshan and Wardak] in Afghanistan. Utilizing semi-structured interviews, the research aims to gather rich, contextualized data that capture the lived experiences of participants, secondary students directly affected by the education ban.”

“The report also uses analysis and discussions among women groups and activists working in Afghanistan on the issue of girls’ education to provide context into the case studies.”
