According to the respondents, the network is helping victims of VAW to get access to shelter. During the current
assessment period, the network work has also monitored situation of women in prisons to make it better for them.
According to the provincial coordinator, women in jails are in deplorable conditions along with their female children.
One of the prisoners had two young daughters; 13 and 14 years old accompanying her in prison and was waiting for
completion of her sentence. Since the situation for these two innocent girls was not suitable in the prison, the network
introduced the girls to a protection center and they were given protection in the shelter. Moreover, the network has
recruited some of the staff of women protection centers in its structure for building better interaction and mutual
support.
Around 80% of the members and 62% of the stakeholders mentioned that the network is providing support to victims
of VAW to get shelter. Also 87% of the stakeholders and 64% of the members mentioned that the network provides aid
to women to get legal representation. The network helps women to follow the legal process of their cases and it works
in collaboration with DoWA to solve the VAW cases.
Provincial Coordinator stated that the network is involved in providing psychological counselling to the victims of VAW
and assist them in getting shelters.
Elder: stated that the network is working for women to get access to shelters. He further mentioned that Kunduz
PWN has conducted various advocacies with governmental offices and hold them accountable for their commitments
and responsibilities. He believes that though network is working hard and has amazing achievements but a lot has to
be done in area of peace and security especially in Kunduz. He says security is a major problem in this province and
the network’s efforts for peace building were not significant enough. However he appreciated the work of PWN and
mentioned that the coordinator usually shares the network activities with the community elders and asks them for
advice.
