Executive Summary

The “engagement of youth in elimination of violence against women” project was initiated on

February 1st, 2015 with the purpose to increase awareness about women rights, youth civil

rights, EVAW Law and advocacy approaches in Daikundi province and establish advocacy

network to be active agent of change.

Initially, LSO held an orientation session in Daikundi province to introduce the project to

AGOs and NGOs. According to the result of orientation session, women’s rights activists and

government relevant stakeholders indicate that there is a strong need of this project to address

serious forms of VAW incidents that women suffer from in Daikundi province, so each

organization coordinated with LSO in the four covered districts (Shahristan, Khider,

Ashterlai, and Nili districts) to introduce this project at the district level.

Following orientation session at the provincial level, LSO met with district governor and

women councils for the purpose of site and beneficiaries selection. As result of meeting, we

established 4 advocacy centres in 4 mentioned districts. As well as, 576 trainees were

selected from different level of education.

LSO implemented engagement of youth network in elimination of violence agaist women

project, with the aim to enhance awareness on women rights, youth civil rights, EVAW Law

and advocacy method in 4 districts of Daikundi provicne for the period of Feb 2015 –

Dec,2015. This project enhanced 576 youths (243 male and 333 female) awareness on

women rights, youth civil rights, EVAW Law and advocacy method. Then, 960 people (380

influential group of society-190 male and 190 female, and 580 youth including 290 male and

290 female) who came from 16 schools, Nasir Khusraw Private University students, Legan

Institute of Midwifery female students and 20 mosques belonging to these 4 target districts

were given awareness through monthly advocacy coordination meetings. 32 internal meetings

in which only 24 advocacy network members participated were held. Indirect beneficiaries of

this project were 4000 people who received advocacy promotional posters conveying women

rights.

Moreover, in coordination with advocacy network coordination committee, the network has

advocated 72 VAW cases for the reporting period. Of these, 1 rape case from Nili advocacy

center was referred to Daikundi WPC. The rest are at home living with their families.

(EVAWG), LSO aimed to raise awareness of youth on EVAW Law, Women Rights, Youth Civil

Rights, and Advocacy Method in Daikundi province (Shahristan, Khider, Nili and Ashterlai Districts).

Results

(i) Progress of project against agreed outcome and outputs for the reporting period:

From February 1st, 2015-Feb 28

th, 2015, LSO implemented procurement, recruitment and

coordination with GOs and NGOs. In our coordination, we allocated one day on February

20th, 2015 to hold project orientation session for government stakeholders and NGOs

working on women rights. The purpose of the orientation was to introduce the project to the

above mentioned organizations. [annex1: details list of participants]. However, the

organizations and relevant stakeholders who participated in the meeting are:

1. DoWA

2. Department of Economy (DE)

3. Governor Office (GO)

4. Education Department (ED)

5. Provincial Religious Councils (PRC)

6. Afghan Women Network (AWN)

7. Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC representative in Daikundi).

8. Cooperation Organization of Disabled Poor People of Afghanistan (CODPPA)

9. Development Welfare Organization (DWO)

Result

Government relevant stakeholders (governor office, DoWA, Education and Economy

Department) agreed with LSO in implementation strategy of this project and introduced LSO to 4

district governors under formal letters for coordination purpose. CODPPA had no idea about the

project implementation, but they developed some messages of women rights and emailed to LSO.

Development Welfare Organization (DWO) commented on our advocacy messages in terms of

grammar and meaning, and its representatives were committed to help us in our future activities

(monthly meetings in 4 covered districts).

P a g e 5 | 22

After meeting with provincial stakeholders, LSO Team met with 4 covered districts’

governors and district women council heads with the purpose to enlighten them about LSO’s

Engagement of Youth in Elimination of Violence against Women Project. As well as, with

the aim to select the sites of advocacy centers and beneficiaries for training. Youth trainees

were selected from different levels of education like university, schools, government

employees and secondary schools. The council’s heads and districts governors whom we

met are:

1. Ms.Musavi from Nili District Women Council;

2. Ms. Amena Hamdard from Ashterlai District Women Council;

3. Ms. Bibi Jan from Shahristan District Women Council; and,

4. Ms. Hanifa Sajadi from Khider District Women Council.

District Governors:

1. Mr.Radmanish, deputy governor of Daikundi province, Nili district

2. Mohammad Ibrahim Akbary from Shahristan District

3. Saeed Mohammad Ali Rafat from Astherlai District

4. Abdul Qadir Haideri from Khider District.

Result:

The four districts’ governors’ and women council heads showed interest in youth engagement

in EVAWG and promised to cooperate with LSO in the implementation process. As well as,

the district governors helped us to meet with 50 elders, CDCs and leaders of villages in 4

districts. They gave us information about number of households, schools, mosques and

religious schools in every village. This information helped us to select the trainees from every

village, and different education background as well as we selected advocacy center locations

in strategic places, easily accessible for VAW survivors and youth.

Output 1.1. Youth has gained access to necessary knowledge and skills on EVAWG.

Providing advocacy promotional materials like manuals, banners, and posters took 3

months (March 1st, 2015 to May, 30

th, 2015) because LSO deemed it vital to provide

P a g e 6 | 22

useful material for effective implementation of training. Therefore, we compiled

information and data from both academic sources, experience of international

organizations and knowledge of local women based NGOs. The draft materials were

shared with UN WOMEN for receiving their feedback and comments on them. Upon

approval of material until end of May, 2015, LSO conducted the 2 day training on

Women Rights, Youth Civil Rights, EVAW Law, and Advocacy Method in

Shahristan, Khider, Nili and Ashterlai Districts, Daikundi Province from June 1st,

2015 to June 30th

, 2015. This training was conducted, with the objective to enhance

awareness of youth on women rights, EVAW law, youth civil rights and advocacy

method so that they become active agent in advocating women at risk of

violence/VAW survivors.

Photo 1: Training workshop on engagement of youth in EVAW Law, youth civil rights,

women rights and advocacy in Shahristan District, Daikundi Province on, July, 26th

, 2015.

As one of training sessions illustrates in photo 1 above in Shahristan District, 144

youth participated in the training. Totally, 576 youth (333 female and 243 male) from above

target districts participated. At the end of 2 day training, LSO trainers conducted post training

assessment from trainees to know how much knowledge they gained out of training

workshop to be selected as advocacy network members.

P a g e 7 | 22

Result:

As result of training implementation, 16 schools, Nasir Khusraw University students, Legan

Institute of Midwifery female students and 20 mosques belonging to 4 target districts directly

benefited from this training workshop. The initial interaction with beneficiaries made clear

that they had passion to learn on women rights, youth civil rights and advocacy method.

According to oral assessment from trainees, Out of 576 trainees, 50 trainees already knew

about women rights and they participated in these type of trainings before as well. They said

“if LSO supports us, we will work for VAW survivors’ advocacy.” However, the rest of

trainees were novice in this training and at the beginning of training a man in Khider district

believed that women should not have any privileges and the Americans carried the concept of

women’s rights upon the Afghan culture. Most men at this center also supported domestic

violence and considered the concept of choosing one’s own partner a cultural taboo. A small

face-to-face assessment at this center indicated that these men were not completely literate

about Islam hence had such mindsets. After the speech of Imam, they were enlightened about

women’s rights in accordance with the Quran and Shiria Law. Then, they accepted our

trainee’s speech on women rights. With the post training assessment, we chose 24 excellent

youth (12 male and 12 female) for 4 districts, 6 youth (3 male and 3 female) per district as

advocacy network members based on high knowledge on women rights, and higher degree of

knowledge and motivation they have behind working in this area. The remainders also

promised to work closely with advocacy network through participating in the monthly

advocacy network coordination committee meetings and advocacy sessions. Moreover, they

committed to recognition of VAW incidents in their related villages and referrals of VAW

survivors to advocacy centers.

Meanwhile, distribution of 4000 posters and 576 manuals of advocacy were

implemented in Shahristan, Khedir, Nili and Ashterlai Districts with the aim to get

across the knowledge of women rights to indirect beneficiaries as well. The

distribution began on July 1st, 2015 and ended on July 30

th, 2015 while the training

was being conducted. Out of 4000 posters and 576 manuals, 576 posters and manuals

distributed to attendees of training workshop on youth engagement in EVAW, youth

civil rights, women rights and advocacy. The remaining 3424 posters distributed to

Nili comprehensive mosque, 14 schools, Nasir Khusraw University, Legan institute of

P a g e 8 | 22

midwifery, 100 CDCs and 4 local bazaar. Specifically, 700 posters distributed in

Shahristan district, 1100 posters distributed in Nili districts, 824 posters distributed in

Ashterlai District, 800 posters distributed in Khider District. During the distribution,

LSO program coordinator gave the schools and universities’ students 20 to 30 minutes

briefings on motives behind poster distribution. [ (ii): main activities undertaken, Table 1,

p.13]

Result

As result of poster distribution, a total of 14 schools, Nasir Khusraw University students, Legan

Institute of Midwifery female students, 4 local bazaars, and 100 CDCs members and Nili

Comprehensive mosque (1760 male and 1664 female) in the above-mentioned districts were covered

[Table 1, ii: advocacy promotional material matrix, p.13]. With support of women’s rights, most of

the school officials provided assistance in the implementation of posters inside the schools. The

schools and university officials provided the ground for information sessions for some of their

students in order to enlighten them with information about LSO’s youth engagement in EVAW (incl.

objectives, poster message, women rights and advocacy). During these sessions, students were also

provided with information about domestic violence, gender discrimination and how LSO aims at

decreasing violence against women. Of the receiver of posters, 20 students (8 male and 12 female) of

Nasir Khusraw University and 20 female students of Gelan Institute of Midwifery who were also our

training beneficiaries showed support to our project. They said that they will take these posters to their

home to get across message on rights of women and girls. The remainder just said they agreed with

our message on women rights and promised to make their fathers and elders participate in LSO

advocacy network activities in the future.

Output 2. 1Youth actively participated in advocacy for EVAWG in 4 Districts of Daikundi

Province.

Description of activities that youth advocacy network have implemented from jul 1st, –

Dec

31st, 2015 are as below, but the summary is tabulated in annex 3.

Activity 1: In the four covered districts, advocacy network conducted 8 meetings in Jul,

2015. The meetings in terms of participants divided into two parts: a. youth advocacy

network internal meetings; per district, 6 members of advocacy network had discussion for

the evaluation of their own works in each district from July 10th

P a g e 9 | 22

advocacy network coordination committee meetings: Advocacy networks held these meetings

with 120 participants per month, 30 participants per district, (60 male and 60 female) from

July 26th

to July 31st, 2015. The meetings were held for the purpose of feedback on advocacy

network activities, challenges and recommendation for

betterment of the activities in the coming month.

Result:

As result of meetings agendas, youth advocacy network

found their activities challenging and difficult. Sometimes,

people tore their advocacy posters in the Bazaars. This

issue existed in 4 target districts. As well as, in the

advocacy network coordination meeting, youth determined

that advocacy of cases is a great challenge without

influential groups of society (Mullah, Malik, CDCs, etc.).

Although advocacy network could solve 19 cases in 4

target districts in July, they received minor cooperation

from community elders, Mullah in mediation and counseling sessions. Ultimately, the

attendees decided to include 40 % influential group of society (12 persons per meeting, per

district) in the monthly advocacy coordination meeting.

Activity2: For enhancing the capacity of youth advocacy network, 4 day training on human

rights, women rights and advocacy method was provided for 24 advocacy network members

(12 male and 12 female) from 3 districts in Nili District from 22nd

, 23rd

, 24th

& 25th

of

August, 2015.

Result:

After 4 days mentioned training, 24 advocacy network (12 male and 12 female) found more

awareness on Advocacy Method, Women Rights, EVAW Law and Human Rights.

Meanwhile, they establish communication schedule for effective implementation of the

advocacy activities.

Activity3: Unlike advocacy network coordination committee meeting in July, advocacy

networks members invited 120 people (48 influential groups and 72 youths), 30 persons per

meeting, per district from August 26th

to August 30th

, 2015. That is, in August (youth: 36

male and 36 female) and influential groups of society (28 male and 20 female) participated.

This meeting with aim of receiving community actors’ support in advocacy of VAW cases

held in four above mentioned districts. Most importantly, attendees discussed case of Najiba

from Pai-e-Nili village who was raped by 3 unknown guys and her family wanted to kill her.

The internal meeting of advocacy network (6 advocacy members, per district) were also held.

The participants from local governors in advocacy coordination committee meeting were:

expressed his thanks from Nili advocacy network for reporting Najiba case to LSO. The

district council heads also announced their support from youth advocacy network. This

network reported of the 8 cases advocated via mediation and counselling with the assistance

of influential groups of society. Especially the case of Najiba which was so complex. Even

Shahristan and Nili Mullah Imams joint her advocacy session and finally they could save her

from threat of being killed by his family. With consent of her family, she was referred to

Daikundi WPC.

Activity 4: LSO’s youth advocacy network held 8 meetings in four target districts from

September 21st – 30

th September, 2015. With 240 participants (120 male and 120 female),

LSO covered 16 CDCs and 20 schools. Of 240 attendees, 96 influential groups of society (48

P a g e 11 | 22

Result:

Prior to the meeting, most men at the center refused to comment on women rights. The ones

that commented had very conservative beliefs about women’s rights. For instance, a man

from Ozmock CDCs believed that women should not have any privileges because it is

culturally unacceptable for us not to say something harsh to our women at home. Most men

also supported idea of him and considered the concept of choosing one’s own partner a

cultural taboo. A small face-to-face assessment with the attendees indicated that these men

were not completely literate about Islam hence had such mindsets. After the speech of Imam,

they were enlightened about women’s rights in accordance with the Quran and Sharia Law.

The meeting changed their attitude toward women rights in their communities. Finally, e

Case Story

Daikundi Province- Nili Advocacy Center

A Place for Advocacy of VAW Survivors: Advocating Women at Risk of

Violence to Have a Peaceful Life.

Najiba, a 25 years old woman, is living in Sangmum Village which is located in the West of

Nili District. Najiba’s father, Sayed Shah Karim, was killed in Mish Village which belongs to

Nili District 17 years ago. When Najiba first came to Nili Advocacy Center on August 29th,

2015, her face and eyes were swollen, her veil hung loosely off her head and her hands were

injured. She said “On April 9th, 2015 at 9:00 AM, I was raped at my home by 3 strange guys

with covered face, and I did not disclose this incident to my family members.” Suffering of

occurring of this incident and fear of revelation of it to her family, she has remained isolated

and quiet at home with 2 of her children for 5 months. However, six month later, this

incident was revealed to her parents, and her brothers tortured and lacerated Najiba.

LSO, a UN Women grantee has established and supported Youth Advocacy committee in 4

districts of Daikundi Province. In Nili District, from primary services and support— Nili

Advocacy Center, advocacy, counseling, mediation—LSO’ Nili Advocacy Center provided

Najiba with the care and advocacy she needed to gain confidence and change her attitude

toward life. With encouragement of youth advocacy committee, she came to LSO Daikundi

WPC for more services (protection and retrieving of psychological health).

Now, four months later, Najiba is a different person. She has become a healthy, happy

woman. She has benefited from basic services of WPC; food and health care, counseling and

recreation. Upon her entry to WPC, She also enrolled in the WPC’s vocational training

courses to learn how to embroider, sew and use a computer. She has learnt embroidery and

sewing, and she is currently producing embroidered clothes and dress. Our social workers

exposed her products for sale to public in Women Handmade Products Campaign Section of

Daikundi’s DoWA, and received money is given to her.

Moreover, LSO’s services and efforts have expanded and improved since starting of youth

engagement in Elimination of Violence against Women including influential groups of

society in 4 districts of Daikundi Province. By coordinating with Mullahs in our program, we

have found out that they are effective for better resolution of the cases.

“It was an awakening for us, when we started outreach program in cooperation with

influential group of society… we were able to establish a much wider system of supporting

vulnerable women at all levels,” said LSO’s Program Coordinator, Dr. Zakir (Director of

LSO) said, “We created a completely new model for the kind of work we have been doing.

Our staff is now much better experienced, and our operations much more efficient, so we

have been able to help vulnerable women than we had been able to before.”

The numbers bear this out: before starting outreach advocacy, LSO advocated and solved 34

cases in Daikundi WPC in 2014. However, now with UN Women assistance LSO by starting

its outreach programs provided advocacy and awareness for 72 women in 4 districts in 2015.

Like Nasiba, these 72 women and girls have found themselves peaceful when they were

advocated by advocacy committee along side community elders. As consequence of outreach,

our WPC clients increased in 2015-42 women at risk of violence or VAW survivors referred

to WPC. 7 cases increased in 2015 than 2014.

Challenges and Mitigation

There was a dispute going on between the elders of each district on site and trainees

selection. Every elder of village wants the beneficiaries and site to be selected from

their village. We met with them and solved the problems through selecting a number

of beneficiaries from every village. The site selected in a strategic place where

everyone can access to it.

Due to 2 months delay in fund transfer, LSO’s project staff was remained without

wage during this period. Another challenge was the amount of time required to get

P a g e 17 | 22

approval for the advocacy material and finding photos as per UN Women’s feedback.

LSO revised its work plan and the project activities were accomplished.

During implementation of posters in village of Bally Yeer located in Khider District,

the residents of the village tore down the posters and asked LSO to lay off women’s

issues. The Taliban insurgents have influence on the people of this village. LSO’s

focal point held a meeting with the elders of the village and recited the verses of holy

Quran conforming the meaning of poster message. They were convinced nonetheless

to stop creating hurdles during the implementation of the POSTER DISTRIBUTION.

After getting an idea about the concept of poster distribution, the village officials

allowed the implementation of other posters as well.

LSO invited equal number of male and female trainees for the training on advocacy, women

rights, youth civil rights and EVAW Law, but fewer men showed up for the training in Nili

advocacy center because of unknown reasons. Hence, more female trainees were invited from

the Women Affairs Department.

Next Steps and Planned Activities

All planned activities are accomplished.
