This document presents Gender Studies Institute, Kabul University with Cooperation of UNDP and UNESCO. The report highlights the presence of gender-based violence (GBV) in three of Afghanistan’s educational institutes (Universities of Kabul, Balkh and Herat), giving a succinct overview of the prevalence of GBV as well as recommendations to reduce and prevent its occurrence. Gender based violence, and in particular sexual violence, is a serious, life-threatening protection issue, primarily affecting women and children. Like in many other countries worldwide, gender-based violence is prevalent in Afghanistan, and often stems from power inequalities and symmetries in society
