Asia Brief - Security for all: Women in the Afghan Police Forces
May 2011

The Afghan National Army and Police Forces are meant to take over responsibility for security from international forces in 2014. By then, the country should have 170’000 police officers, both male and female. The integration of female police goes back to an SDC initiative that focused on gender-related issues within the framework of the Afghan security reform. So far, 1241 police women have been recruited. The government’s goal is to increase this number to 5000 policewomen by 2014. This is a difficult undertaking in a challenging context, although indispensable if Afghanistan wishes to establish a police force that offers equal access to and quality of security services to both men and women.

Asia Brief - Partnership results on civil society in Afghanistan
The Afghanistan Civil Society Forum - Watchdog for a better future
August 2009

What in the Western world is a widely accepted principle, namely, that there can be no democracy without a civil society, is still hard to accept in Afghanistan. Nevertheless, the first fruits of civil society’s growing influence are increasingly visible. Eight years after the fall of the Taliban, Afghan civil society is calling for a say in the overall process of reconstruction and upcoming elections, as recently highlighted in the debate on the so-called Shia Law. Given the adverse context in which civil society is evolving, this is a considerable achievement. Afghan civil society draws one of its strengths from coordination and cooperation. The most important coordinating body is the Afghan Civil Society Forum (ACSF) supported by Switzerland from its very beginnings in 2002.
