Abstract

This article explores struggles for women emancipation and empowerment in contemporary Afghanistan. It situates the topic in the context of the humanitarian and military intervention. Struggles of and for women in Afghanistan are reconstructed not as a domestic policy issue, but as a global concern, in which experiences of women in different places come to play a role in world politics. Drawing on ethnographic research in Kabul in 2015, I argue that the struggles for women empowerment and women’s rights in Afghanistan stretch beyond the boundaries of the Afghan state and have to be explored in a multi-sited perspective.
