International Development written question – answered at on 12 May 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development how her Department plans to develop its existing work on violence against women in Afghanistan in its next operational plan.
DFID works with partners in Afghanistan, including other donors, Afghan women and civil society groups, and the Afghan Government to build on our existing work tackling violence against women and improving women’s rights.
This includes £3 million funding for a joint programme with the Australian Government to improve the implementation of laws designed to protect women and girls affected by violence. From 2014, up to £2 million in grants from the DFID-funded Tawanmandi programme to Afghan civil society organisations will also be primarily focused on the elimination of violence against women and girls.
