"Taking Action on Violence against Women in the Afghan Context"

Initiating and developing response mechanisms through women's right activism, community and institutional based approaches.This training manual has been developed with the aim of increasing the number of women who are qualified trainers or group facilitators, women’s rights activists and caseworkers, and to enable these women to work on women’s rights and against VAW, especially in the provinces of Afghanistan. The indirect beneficiaries are mainly Afghan women and young girls at risk. This manual is different in that it addresses issues of how to train women who are both literate and illiterate, challenging as this might be. Author: Gurcharan Virdee
