Gender Studies Institute, Kabul University With Cooperation of UNDP and UNESCO
Abstract
This document presents Gender Studies Institute, Kabul University with Cooperation of UNDP and UNESCO. The report highlights the presence of gender-based violence (GBV) in three of Afghanistan’s educational institutes (Universities of Kabul, Balkh and Herat), giving a succinct overview of the prevalence of GBV as well as recommendations to reduce and prevent its occurrence. Gender based violence, and in particular sexual violence, is a serious, life-threatening protection issue, primarily affecting women and children. Like in many other countries worldwide, gender-based violence is prevalent in Afghanistan, and often stems from power inequalities and symmetries in society
