This report highlights the failure of the Afghan state to respect, protect and fulfil the rights of women and girls. It is not a comprehensive study of violations and abuses perpetrated against women in Afghanistan. It seeks instead to provide examples that highlight the inability and at times the lack of will of the government and its institutions – in their current state – to respect, protect and fulfil the rights of women.
