This paper’s objective is to consider that since Afghanistan’s ratification of Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) women rights has been better protected and CEDAW has made a tangible impact in protection of equal rights and elimination of discrimination for Afghan women. In fact, the CEDAW has bolstered the courageous efforts of Afghan women to advocate for their own lives in a very concrete way. Before the ratification of CEDAW by Afghanistan government women faced several problems and they were not able to combat for their rights, it was CEDAW that encouraged the Afghan’s women to start combating for achieving their fundamental rights and also CEDAW plays a very important role by forcing Afghanistan government to have more attention for protection of women’s human rights, because of CEDAW ratification by Afghanistan government a lot of international donors helped Afghanistan government for elimination of discrimination against women and protection of women’s human rights. Afghanistan was in a very poor women human rights situation and no one wants to talk and combat for protection of women’s human rights in Afghanistan but after ratification of CEDAW by Afghanistan government this fact clearly proved that CEDAW can really make a difference in countries that have very poor human rights record. Research methodology will be qualitative methodology, consist of primary sources in the form of statutes, rules and regulations, secondary sources are obtained from text books, journals and articles.
