Academic Discourse

To support increased scholarship and academic discourse on the human rights situation, including in relation to gender equality, in Afghanistan, the programme will organise human rights related research conferences for Afghan scholars, and support dissemination of research from the programme, including from the research fellows connected to the programme.

It will also include a database aimed to facilitate access to such research, and to human rights related materials from and about Afghanistan.  The database is still under construction, pending consultations with stakeholders. In the meantime, below you can find our most recent articles and publications in a programme repository.

The Afghanistan Human Rights Database (AHRD) is a living, evolving resource, developed in response to the rapidly changing human rights landscape in Afghanistan. It is continuously updated and expanded as new research, reports, and data become available, ensuring that users have access to relevant materials. The database is designed to grow alongside the needs of researchers, students, policymakers, and practitioners, offering an accessible entry point into an increasingly complex body of knowledge. We invite you to explore the database in more depth and learn more about its scope, sources, and ongoing development by clicking the button below.
