To protect the victims of VAW, Badakhshan PWN works in collaboration with DoWA, Justice Sector and Women for<br />

Women organization. The network has managed to solve many VAW cases and other women issues in the community.<br />

For example, in a forced marriage case, a girl namely Rukhshana was allowed to continue her education, after PWN<br />

intervened and convinced the family not to marry the girl at a very young age. The family was convinced and allowed<br />

their daughter to continue her education rather than getting her married forcibly.<br />

Since informal justice system is quite acceptable and prevalent everywhere in Afghan culture, the network also tries<br />

to solve the problems of women through informal ways. The members solve the cases by acting as mediators to both<br />

side of dispute and in case the problem is too acute and cannot be solved through informal ways, then the network<br />

introduces the victims to DoWA and Women for Women organization. The network members also support the victims<br />

of VAW to get access to justice and to shelter if needed. Around 56% of the members and 70% of the stakeholders<br />

mentioned the network is supporting VAW victims to get access to shelters. Majority of them also stated that the<br />

network is supporting women to integrate with the society.<br />

According to provincial coordinator the network has developed strong relations with the head of a shelter and they<br />

receive cooperation from shelter in solving cases. The network has introduced some of the VAW victims to psychological<br />

doctors.<br />
