Do Afghans support girls’ education?
A 2025 UN Women nationwide survey of more than 2,000 Afghans found that more than nine in ten respondents said girls continuing school was important.
What the figure or term means
Support was reported across men and women and urban and rural communities.
A survey estimate has sampling, question-wording, and fieldwork limitations.
The result challenges claims that education restrictions simply reflect public preference.
Cite the survey date and source rather than universalizing beyond the sample.
How to use this information responsibly
Current sources show how restrictions, funding cuts, disease, malnutrition, and access barriers overlap, especially for women and children.
National figures should not be used to diagnose an individual, predict one child’s future, or flatten the experiences of all Afghan women and families.
