Digital currencies like Bitcoin are becoming an important tool for empowering the rights of women in Afghanistan, providing them financial independence and access to education.

The Role of Cryptocurrencies in Afghan Women's Lives

According to Roya Mahboob, founder of the Digital Citizen Fund (DCF), Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can improve the lives of women suffering under the Taliban's repressive regime. Her organization trains women in financial and digital literacy, which includes using Bitcoin as a survival tool. She explained, "It's much easier for them to get it because it gives them a hope of financial freedom."

Commitment to Human Rights Advocacy

Mahboob noted that their initiative goes beyond mere financial transactions. She collaborates with the Human Rights Foundation to integrate human rights aspects into her Bitcoin campaigns. The decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies makes it a vital tool in the push for democratizing financial services in Afghanistan.

Challenges and Prospects for Implementation

Despite the educational successes regarding Bitcoin, Mahboob faces significant challenges, such as limited access to education and internet in the country. Since 2022, Afghanistan has enforced strict cryptocurrency bans, yet transactions still occur in underground markets through P2P networks. This creates additional complexities in disseminating educational materials and accessing technologies.

Thus, cryptocurrencies represent a reliable tool for women in Afghanistan striving for change and independence, despite existing obstacles and repressive measures.
