From the American People
This project’s activities are designed to help re-establish traditional dispute-resolution councils (shuras) in areas that have been recently stabilized, while familiarizing them with Afghan law, particularly as it relates to women’s rights, and connecting them in a more formalized manner with the district courts. Long-term expected results include increased harmony in actions of the formal and informal justice systems and increased access to justice with an emphasis on the rights of women.
