Therefore, improving their economic indicators can play a key role in reducing their vulnerability to violence and social inequality.<\/p>\n<p>At a time when the Taliban administration has systematically restricted women&#8217;s access to education, employment, and economic participation, such international support can serve as a critical means of maintaining their social engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past two decades, Afghan women had made notable progress in economic and social spheres. However, many of these achievements have come under serious threat following the Taliban&#8217;s return to power.
