The 6th volume of the Women and Public Policy Journal includes 11 articles by Afghan women researchers, academics, and practitioners titled “Separating Discourse from Practice: What Does the Future Hold for Women in Afghanistan?” This year’s journal attempts to present a clearer and more grounded picture of how far Afghan women have actually come in the last two decades (post-2001) and provides concrete policy recommendations to assist national and international policymakers in plugging these gaps as the country enters a new decade, one that will be unapologetically measured against how it achieves self-reliance and local ownership in its pursuit for sustainable peace.
