Resumen

El esfuerzo para la igualdad de género en Afganistán ha sido largo y difícil en las condiciones de Guerra. Sin embargo, en los últimos años, se ha logrado asombrante progreso en la transformación de la educación superior y en las condiciones para las estudiantes y las profesoras. Lo más sorprendente del esfuerzo es el nivel de éxito en un ambiente desafiante. Sugerimos que el éxito se debe en parte a la atención a la norma de la igualdad de género. Eso ha permitido que se examine la vista tradicional hacia la mujer y que nuevas normas se desarrollen para la meta de la igualdad de género en la MoHE. En 2001 no se encontraban estudiantes, profesorado o empleadas femeninas. En 2017 el  número ha crecido hasta lograr el 28% de estudiantes y 14% del profesorado femenino. El ambiente ha cambiado mucho para las mujeres quienes ahora pueden sentirse más cómodas y tranquilas. Esperamos que los cambios que hemos visto en Afganistán puedan sugerir métodos para lograr la igualdad de género en otros países.

Razia Karim, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Razia Karim, is a graduate student at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and the recent recipient of a master’s degree (May 2017). She is a former Afghan employee of the USAID funded Higher Education Project based at the Ministry of Higher Education in Afghanistan where she worked as an Executive Assistant to the Deputy Minister for Academic Affairs from September 2012 –August 2014. She was born in 1988 in Kabul, Afghanistan amid the civil war—a particularly violent period in Kabul especially for women who were more vulnerable to the conflicts. Her father wanted to safeguard the family from the violent groups and to provide his children with an education so they moved to Islamabad, Pakistan and lived there as refugee around 12 years. She did her primary, secondary and high school in Pakistan in refugee school. In 2009, she attended Bakhtar University in Afghanistan where she received a bachelor’s degree in Business Management. While in college she also worked for the Ministry of Higher Education. Her experiences in the Office of Deputy Minister for Academic Affairs, added to her professional capabilities, gave her a deep understanding of the higher education change effort led by Deputy Minister M. O. Babury. Working for him increased her administrative and research competences and enabled her to maintain close contact with Afghan higher education institutions as well as international projects that support higher education in Afghanistan. That work encouraged her to pursue her graduate program in the field of higher education administration at the University of Massachusetts with a scholarship and assistantship they provided. Her master’s thesis focused on issues of gender equity in Afghanistan.
