This study was undertaken to examine the role of women in post-conflict nation-building. In particular it looks at the impact of post-conflict societal circumstances and nation-building processes on the status and situation of female populations.
It considers this issue from two aspects: the gender-specific impacts of conflict and post-conflict and the ways in which events may affect women differently than they affect men; and the role of women in the nation-building process, in terms of both current practices and possible outcomes that might occur if these practices were to be modified. The research specifically focuses on the case of Afghanistan.
