“…Women's status is inferior to that of men. Furthermore, it has been discovered that literacy is the single most signi cant element in educating women and paving the way for economic equality, which will boost women's status (Junussova et al, 2019). It's observed the fact women are capable to indulge themselves in meaningful activity that will permit them nancial freedom to some extent though it is di cult to attain in the initial stage (Lavanya & Ahmed, 2018).…”

In today's world higher education is crucial not only as a source of knowledge but also as a means to increase one's employability. Even though this statement holds good for both men and women, higher education has a more predominant role in the life of woman because higher education not only promotes the nancial stability of women but also boost self-con dence and independence in her personality. In order to understand to what extent higher education in uences the various aspects of women empowerment namely Social, Psychological, Economic, Political and Educational, a perceptual study of women with higher education has been undertaken in Karnataka. A multiple regression analysis was used to check the in uence of higher education on women empowerment and depicted the path analysis using Structured Equation Model. The study revealed that higher education signi cantly in uences the overall empowerment of women and it also exhibited that there is no association between women's perception on overall empowerment among demographic parameter except monthly income.

This article analyzes barriers and facilitators to Afghan women's representation in the last 75 years, from Zahir Shah (1933–1973) to Ashraf Ghani (2014–2021) and now under the Taliban (2021–…). We conducted a qualitative analysis using administrative documents and related academic contributions from each period to address this topic. The analysis shows that the representation of women in Afghanistan's public administration (PA) has been limited and passive in terms of both numbers and impacts. Historically, Afghanistan's PA has remained a mostly patriarchal system, where prejudice and gender‐based discrimination are a reality in government organizational structures. Our findings show that socio‐economic and political realities have contributed to gender inequality and the underrepresentation of Afghan women in PA. These realities include international invasions, conflicts, frequent regime changes, and cultural elements, which encompass a strong traditional culture, specific religious and patriarchal mindsets, and an overall lack of attention to gender issues. Results also reveal that over the past 75 years, women have not been actively involved in the development and decision‐making processes in the country. As a result, Afghanistan has never experienced a representative PA that mirrors the demographical groups of society, notably women. This study indicates that the interests of Afghan women have mostly been ignored in the policy‐making process and that issues of diversity and gender equality in PA were not on the agenda of the different Afghan regimes.
