In collaboration with Search for Common Ground, the HRWMO carried out an access to justice program. As part of the project, a needs assessment was conducted among local media journalists to evaluate their knowledge and skills. Based on the survey findings, a comprehensive training program was developed.
During the project, 30 local journalists participated in a basic journalism and sensitive reporting training workshop to improve their understanding of media, enhance their report preparation skills, and learn to effectively engage with local media. The training also covered topics such as addressing domestic and social violence, using media for policy advocacy, and creating impactful social media reports.
Additionally, the journalists learned about fostering collaboration between local media, government, and community journalists, as well as the responsibilities of citizenship and ethical journalism.
HRWMO conducted and broadcasted 48 radio panel discussions and dramas to engage women in conversations about what they want for their futures. The discussions addressed the lack of services currently unavailable to women and girls following the law and challenged systemic discrimination.
HRWMO engaged a range of Afghan government and civil society actors, women activists, and legal experts to address women’s lack of access to justice, with reliable prosecution of perpetrators of violence and effective prevention of crimes, women’s legal rights, legal aids during access to justice and gender-based violence, discrimination and harassment, mental health and trauma, physical health, addiction, economic security, trafficking, child marriage, childcare, and other issues.
