År 2000 skrev Afghanistan på en FN resolution för att kvinnor skulle få rättigheter, säkerhet och fred. (UNSCR 1325). För att få internationellt stöd dvs bistånd måste länder uppfylla vissa krav. År 2008 kom ytterligare en lag om att visst våld mot kvinnor förbjuds.
87.2% av Afghanistans kvinnliga befolkning har upplevt fysisk, psykisk,sexuellt, ekominisk våld mot dem utfört av deras familjemedlemmar. Det finns inga lagar mot sexuella trakasserier alls och det är väldigt vanligt i Afghanistan.
Nu har det börjat komma lite domar från Afghanistan i våld mot kvinnor:
Barn blir våldtagen av en imam och föräldrarna vill återupprätta hedern genom att döda barnet.
In 2014, an Afghan cleric (mullah) was convicted of brutally raping a ten-year-old girl in a mosque and sentenced to 20 years in prison for raping a minor and a fine of 1,500,000 Afghani (which equates to roughly USD$30,000).50 The judge recognized that as a child, the girl could not commit adultery, and the mullah’s acts constituted rape. Due to the shame the rape had brought on the family, the family removed the girl from school. According to police and women’s rights activists, the girl’s family members plotted to kill her to defend the family’s honor because they were ashamed by her rape.
4 kvinnor blir kidnappade framför sina män och släktingar av 10 andra män och blir gängvåldtagna. Gänget blir åtalade för ”sex utanför äktenskapet”. Kvinnorna slipper bli åtalade för sex utanför äktenskapet för deras män var närvarande när de blev kidnappade.
In the high profile 2014 case of the “Paghman rapists,” ten men dressed in police uniforms and armed with rifles robbed and gang-raped four women who were returning to Kabul from a wedding with their families, and traveling through the Paghman district. The accused in the Paghman case were not charged with rape, but with sex outside marriage (zina). Although zina typically implicates both parties, and is often used against female rape victims, many believe the women were not charged in this case because the victims’ husbands were present during the attacks and the rapists were strangers. According to Human Rights Watch, ]he fact that the husbands were overpowered and humiliated . . . in a sense made them the victims in the eyes of the government.” Former President Hamid Karzai immediately publicly demanded justice, and within a week, police arrested seven suspects, whom the victims identified. After a two-hour trial, a court sentenced the defendants to death by hanging. An appeals court upheld the sentences for five of the seven defendants, and reduced the sentences of two of the men to 20 years in prison due to insufficient evidence to justify the death penalty.
