INEE¡¯s drafts for the educational policies designed amidst the conflict without a sound epistemological approach give the impression that the definition of their progress and sustainability is reduced to mere statistical data. The theoretical conceptualizations seem to be apolitical and don¡¯t use a contextual and intersectional feminist lens producing a wide longitudinal research gap. This study intends to explore these research gaps in the policy frame analysis of INEE through a gendered lens and contextualizes the case study of Afghanistan. It hypothesizes that the de-politicization, exclusiveness, repatriation, and short-term vision of INEE policies are responsible for not achieving the desired results. A comprehensive consideration and mapping of geopolitical and biopolitical realities of Afghan women along with a structural understanding of socio-cultural realities, however, might lead to the better drafting of educational policies for women during the conflict and crisis. %K Education in Emergency %K INEE %K Afghan Women %K Intersectionality %K Refugees %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=112534
