Summary

Canada is supporting Afghan government efforts by funding a gender advisor for the the Ministry of Interior Affairs (MOI). This report is part of that support. It describes the current status of gender equity in the MOI, and identifies the matters requiring attention for gender equity to become a reality. The report is based on a survey of a group of policewomen, and information gathered from a variety of sources in the capital and in the provinces. It is not a complete picture, but it assembles more information on policewomen than has previously existed, so can serve as a measure for future gender progress equity.
