Some key findings from WCRAN’s “Women’s Access to Justice in Afghanistan” research report shared by @FreshtaKarimi - 81% of respondents affirm the justice system has transformed "completely" (46%) or "significantly" (35%), confirming a systemic overhaul rather than a minor transition. - Women face systemic pressure to drop cases, remain silent, or reconcile with their abusers, often accompanied by verbal abuse and explicit threats. - 94.5% of respondents identified field courts as a major barrier to women’s access to justice. - 40.38% reporting that decisions are driven by powerful local actors rather than a formal justice system.
