| Summary: | The gender and justice study is to
understand women's legal issues and justice seeking
behaviors in four regions of Afghanistan. It focuses on four
main themes, including: a) women's main legal issues;
b) women's justice-seeking choices and rationale for
those choices; c) the challenges women face when trying to
access justice institutions; and d) women's
satisfaction with the judicial process they experience in
north (Kabul), west (Herat), central highlands (Bamyan), and
east (Nangarhar, Logar). The study is underpinned by a
conceptual framework that privileges understanding the
dynamics of the demand for justice first, with a secondary
focus on the supply side of justice. It has focused
primarily on collecting data and information directly from
actual or potential users of justice institutions, with
efforts to maintain a gender balance among respondents. The
knowledge and perspectives of justice service providers or
other supply-side actors (like donors or program designers)
have been used primarily to complement or be compared with
data from the demand side. |
