Title: ‘Powerless, poor and needy?’: Reproducing colonial discourses of gender and Muslim women through educational interventions by I-NGOs in Afghanistan

  • Authors: S. Haqpana, M. Tsouroufli
  • Journal: Women’s Studies International Forum
  • Year: 2023
  • Volume: 98
  • Pages: 102714

Abstract: This study examines the impact of educational interventions by International Non-Governmental Organizations (I-NGOs) on gender discourse and the portrayal of Muslim women in Afghanistan. It argues that despite well-intentioned efforts, these interventions often inadvertently reproduce colonial discourses that depict Afghan women as powerless, poor, and needy. The article critically analyzes the implications of such representations for the empowerment and agency of Afghan women within their own socio-cultural context.
