Abstract

According to what has been recorded, violence against women is a long-standing practice that is now a serious cause for concern in the modern world. Women have consistently been the main targets of assault, torture, and disgrace in all wars, whether they are civil wars, inter-communal conflicts, or global wars. The Kite Runner by Khalid Hosseini addresses a variety of topics. The depiction of women is one of these prominent topics. According to Khalid Hosseini's important writings, women can be perceived as material possessions and are frequently depicted in both contemporary culture and historical contexts as being weak, marginalized, denigrated, and the target of numerous double standards. The creation and building of both male and female characters, together with the setting and culture in the book, all contribute to the idea of female representation in The Kite Runner. This essay explores the crucial topic of Afghan women's experiences as they are depicted in The Kite Runner by Khalid Hosseini. This essay makes the case that, in the context of this book, Afghanistan's history is pivotal period of violence and war; amplifying the subjugation of its women.
