The German Government is offering 5000 Scholarships for 5000 Afghan Women to Study in One of the Neighboring Countries Will Receive Financial Assistance From The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and German Academic Exchange Services (DAAD), It Has Been Announced (BMZ). To do this, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is launching a scholarship program for young people who have fled Taliban brutality in Afghanistan by moving to Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, or Bangladesh. Since the end of December, Afghan women have been forbidden from attending university in their country; they make up most of the target population. The program’s funding will come from roughly seven million euros granted by the BMZ.

“The Taliban’s approach is not only disrespectful of women but also poisonous for the country’s development,” says Federal Development Minister Svenja Schulze. Denying educational chances to half of the people robs the country of its future potential. There is no way out of hunger and poverty without well-educated women. They are also critical to the work of humanitarian organizations. The Taliban must lift the restrictions on women. In any case, we will continue to explore methods to assist Afghan women. One option is to allow Afghan women who have left to study in a neighboring country. This provides the ladies with the opportunity to work and earn a living. And they can help their country rebuild as soon as the situation in Afghanistan allows it.

“For the people of Afghanistan, the situation is an ongoing calamity,” says DAAD President Prof. Dr. Joybrato Mukherjee. Young women, in particular, have been particularly badly hit: they can no longer participate in social activities. They have no academic training opportunities because they have been excluded from universities. The new scholarship initiative is thus a vital building component in enabling young women, in collaboration with our international partner organizations, to prepare for university and to provide bachelor’s and master’s degrees to Afghan women refugees at universities in the region.

Since the Taliban reclaimed power in the summer of 2021, women’s rights in Afghanistan have been under growing pressure. By the end of 2022, women were not eligible to enroll in the nation’s colleges or work for non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
