Postavení žen v islámské společnosti, případová studie Afghánistán

Gender inequality and the oppression of women's rights in Islamic countries has been a discussed topic for a time. Afghanistan is one of the worst countries in terms of respect for women's rights. This bachelor thesis aims to compare the female position during the political changes of this country, especially by the testimonies of women themselves and available literature. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first two chapters are devoted to the definition of sociological concepts in the field of gender studies and explain the history of the Islamic religion and the position of Muslim women in this culture. The empirical part first defines Afghanistan from a geographical and demographic point of view. Subsequently, it characterizes the three political milestones of the country, which have strongly influenced and are still influencing the position of Afghan women. The last chapter describes the role of women in each historical epoch of the state, especially in the possibilities of education, the availability of medical care or job opportunities.
