| Contesto |
Since the collapse of the Taliban regime in 2001, considerable progress has been made in the field of human rights in Afghanistan. Many civil society organizations (CSOs) have been established to work towards strengthened rights holders’ abilities to hold the government increasingly accountable of their obligations under the Constitution and international human rights law. However, promotion and protection of human rights still remain challenging and the achievements of the past years highly fragile. In the context of continued armed violence and increasing insecurity, the space for CSOs for an inclusive participation in development and policy reform remains limited. The Civil Society and Human Rights Network (CSHRN) has been established in 2004 to support and coordinate the activities of human rights CSOs in Afghanistan. It comprises today a nationwide network of 160 CSOs. |
