Abstract Intersectionality explains how systems of domination such as class, gender, and nation converge and reproduce each other. Institutional ethnography is a suitable methodology for analyzing the experience of subordination since it explores people's experience in the context of institutional practices. This research describes Afghan mothers work regarding children's schooling taking into account their social status. National domination system benefits from Afghan women’s illiteracy to confine them in a lingual prison. Thus, Afghan women are put under a lot of pressure in the face of maternal responsibilities, as defined by education institution in the interest of dominant gender, nation, and class. Interview and observation are the main data collection techniques used in this research.
