“GTZ, Gender mainstreaming”—at foot of title.

Summary: This undated paper (from late-2008?) sought to provide a detailed update on the status of gender units in Afghan government ministries and agencies. In all 24 ministries and two independent divisions were surveyed. Interviews were used to supplement the written information received, in many of those women reported discrimination and felt they lacked a voice in their work environment. There was also a demonstrated lack of understanding of the meaning of gender and the benefits of gender mainstreaming. Women civil servants account for approximately 26 percent of most ministries’ overall work force: according to other figures (from the Ministry of Women’s Affairs) there are approximately 39,000 women compared to 181,000 men in ministries.
