Childhood in a Conflict-Ridden Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the Function of Education in Generating (Dis)Peace
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Understanding the dire circumstances of children in Afghanistan after 2021 is the primary goal of the paper that is being presented. The paper discusses societal challenges such as child labor and the issue of early marriage. Young girls are already being forced into marriage by their families in order to support their marriages because they are not permitted to complete their education. The research was grounded in interviews with Afghans and Afghan refugees as well as a review of pertinent literature. I had the opportunity to visit the Center for Foreigners in Grupa throughout the study period, which ran from December 2021 to November 2023, and I got to know the Afghan refugees who lived there. Coding was an essential phase in the data analysis process since it helped establish categories that were then assigned to categories featured in Martha Nussbaum's Perspective. The issues facing Afghan children in Europe have received insufficient attention; instead, there have been limited and irregular attempts to comprehend these issues. The author of this text aims to draw attention to the social circumstances facing Afghan youngsters.
