Abstract The present study aims to examine the barriers to women education in Afghanistan. In order to achieve this objective, the present study developed a questionnaire and collected data from 100 Afghan girls/women aged between 13-19 years. Total, 10 schools including five public and five private schools were selected and 10 students from each selected school were selected to be part of the survey that resulted in total 100 girls/women. It was found that Afghan women face discrimination in educational institutions because they are considered to inferior sex in their country. Afghan women perceived that they are treated differently in their educational institution because of their gender. Further, it was found that Afghan women perceive that they have limited money to attend college and also agreed that Afghan women were not preferred by my family members to attend college. Afghan women revealed that they do not feel independent to commute from college.
