governmental offices. 120 % 100 % 80 % 60 % 40 % 20 % 0 % 11-7: Activities for Political Partcipation of Women, Members and Stakeholders' Perspective Improved awareness of the importance of equal participation of women Advocacy campaign for women to participate in elections Advocacy to hire women in government offices Members' View Stakehoders' View Since Daikundi is a mountainous area, transportation is a main challenge for people and on the other hand damaged roads increase the challenges for the people. PWN in Daikundi on 1st October, along with some civil society activists attempted to fill the damaged areas with mud, as a mark of demonstration, in order to draw the attention of concerned authorities towards the issue. PWN and other participants through this action urged the government to pay attention to the road situation in Daikundi. It is not the only example of female led civil movement, the network representatives have also participated in radio roundtable discussion on campaigning, for damaged roads. Achievements: Advocacy for the employment of disabled women: The network advocated for some women with especial needs, who had disability level of less than 60% and were eager to work in governmental offices. The departments of labor, social affairs and martyr and disabled didn’t agree to give work permission to these women. They claimed that these women are already receiving disability pension from the government, so they cannot work in governmental offices. The PWN asked the provincial council members, local shuras and women activists and other CSOs to participate in our advocacy for these disabled women. According disability law of the MoLSMD, if a person is having any disability but has ability to work, she/he can be hired in governmental and non-governmental offices and can work accordingly. Finally, three women with special needs received their work permit and are now working with different government offices. Promoting gender equality in Daikunid attorney office: The network has also advocated for gender equality in the department of police headquarters, in terms of access to facilities and equipment’s available in the office. There was no separate changing room for female staff to wear their uniforms and also there was no separate bathroom for them. PWN discussed this issue with head of gender unit of the Police headquarters and as a result of this advocacy, separate office, a changing room and equipment like computer were provided for female staff. Uruzgan PWN Findings from the Member’s & Stakeholder’s Perspective Uruzgan PWN is one of the newly created networks, established on 15th November 2015. Culturally, Uruzgan is regarded as a conservative province where men usually do not interact with women or do not take part in the initiatives led by women. The volatile security situation in the province also prevents people from participating in the events, but the PWN members have managed to get the support and cooperation from men and community leaders. During the current period of assessment, the on-going war in Uruzgan has hampered some of the activities of the network, like we saw a decline in both “PWN members interaction with each other” and “PWN members interaction with other community women”. The members, however, have managed in a very short span of time to receive full support from their families to conduct the PWN activities in their communities.70% of the members confirmed their families to be “very supportive” which was only 36% in the previous round. PWN members have also increased knowledge about women rights among their family members; around 63% of the members acknowledged that as a result of their involvement in PWN activities, the level of awareness among their family members has increased “very much” which EQUALITY for Peace and Democracy 51 Provincial Women's Network Evaluation Report
was only 26% in the previous round. While speaking to Uruzgan PWN members about the problems that women face in their community, a majority said that lack of education and awareness, violence against women, lack of women political participation and financial dependence among women are the barriers for women. On the other hand, all the stakeholders almost shared the same view, stating that violence against women, lack of education and financial dependence are the most serious problems that women are facing at the community level. 120 % 12-1: Major Problems Women Face in Community, Members and Stakeholders' Perspective 100 % 80 % 60 % 40 % 20 % Members' View Stakehoders' View 0 % Violence against women Lack of education and awareness Lack of womenLack of women supporters political participation Financial dependence During this period of assessment, the Uruzgan PWN was mostly involved in peace building activities, because of war going on in the province. Since insecurity is a major concern for Uruzgan, most of the members and stakeholders mentioned that the network has been very active in peace building with participation of women in the process. Around 93% of the members and 60% of the stakeholders also pointed that the network is trying to enhance women’s participation in decision making at the provincial level. For instance during a provincial dialogue held by the network on December 2016, the network shared their concerns regarding participation of women with high authorities like deputy governor, justice department, Haj and religious affairs department and women affair department. The authorities were also urged to solve women problems, provide protection to VAW victims and support women employment in the province and as a result of which, authorities committed to address the issue. Furthermore this event was also aired on national and local media like BBC Radio, Milli TV and Radio and Uruzgan Local Taron Radio. Other advocacy activities that the network is involved in, are prevention and protection of women from gender-based violence, promotion of laws that advance gender equality, involving men in gender based issues, women participation in decision making and economic empowerment of women at the grass root level. Around 80% of members confirmed that the network has conducted advocacies for prevention and protection of women from gender-based violence and involving men in gender based issues to reduce the cases of VAW at the community level and ensure peace and security. 12-2: Advocacy Activities for WPS by Uruzgan PWN, Members and Stakeholders' Perspective 120 % 100 % 80 % 60 % 40 % 20 % 0 % Women’s participation in peace building and peace negotiations Women’s participation in decision making Promoting laws that advance gender equality and women’s rights Prevention and protection of women from sexual and gender-based violence Access to justice in response to violations of women’s Women’s economic empowerment Involving male members of the community on gender based issues.
