MEHWAR: AIHRC Report On Violence Against Women

Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) on Saturday released its yearly report on violence against women and said in the last year (1396 Solar Year) over 4,000 cases of violence against women were registered by the commission. 
 
The report says that the number of cases has increased by 11,7 percent against the previous year adding that the increase of kangaroo courts in the country is also worrying. 
 
According to the report, most cases of violence against women have remained unreported due to the lack of access for women to human rights institutions. 
 
AIHRC officials said the culture of impunity and lack of law enforcement have been the main reasons behind the continued violence against women.
 
In this episode of Mehwar host Jamal Nasir Farahmand discusses the topic with Masood Karokhail, a parliament member and Sayeda Sadat a civil society activist.
