This thesis examines whether or not the United States has been effective in successfully implementing women's rights in Afghanistan. While U.S. policy has been partially effective in specific areas such as providing greater educational and health access for women in the cities, development in the educational and health sectors in rural areas is extremely marginal and some in cases does not even exist. Additionally, the most noticeable accomplishment in the post- Taliban Afghanistan is the Ministry of Women's Affairs, which is highly ineffective in advancing women's rights. This thesis argues that an Islamic approach may offer a better alternative for obtaining equality and freedom for Afghan women and that such an Islamic-inspired solution would constitute a possible resolution to women's rights violations that occur in Afghanistan. In other words, policy makers in Afghanistan could use the teachings of Islam as a means of advocating and obtaining rights for women in Afghanistan. To support this argument, the thesis reviews the literature on Islam, democracy, and women's rights and makes the case for the potential of Islam to advance women's rights in Afghanistan.
