Among the most important developments was the 2009 Elimination of Violence against Women (EVAW) Law. This report focuses on the experiences of Afghan women in their attempts to pursue justice through Afghanistan's courts, and the obstacles they face. Although full implementation of the EVAW law remains elusive, with families and police often deterring women from registering complaints, the law has driven slow but genuine change for Afghan women. With the Taliban taking increasing control of Afghanistan, and donor funding declining alongside the withdrawal of foreign troops, Afghan women's rights groups fear that laws such as EVAW will be increasingly in danger. Human Rights Watch urges Afghanistan's government to investigate and prosecute all offenses under the EVAW law. Donors should advocate forcefully that any settlement to the conflict preserve protections for women's rights, including the EVAW law. 650 0 $a Women $x Law and legislation $x Prevention $x Law and legislation $z Afghanistan. 650 0 $a Justice, Administration of $z Afghanistan. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z Afghanistan. 700 1 $a Gossman, Patricia, $e author. 710 2 $a Human Rights Watch (Organization), $e issuing body, publisher. 776 08 $i Online version: $t "I thought our life might get better" 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011108.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=245E8EF478F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
