Title

  • Women's Role in Rebuilding Afghanistan

Summary

  • A discussion of the role of women in the rebuilding of Afghanistan, part of a three day conference in Istanbul, Turkey, on women in the global community co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. For many years, the Library of Congress has collaborated with the Fulbright program (administered by the U.S. State Department under its Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs) by briefing Fulbright scholars traveling abroad about the countries they were to visit and describing the Library's holdings in their field. During the three-day conference, more than 80 participants took part in 11 panels and seven discussion groups on topics such as women's roles in education, information and communication technologies, public health, economic policy, civil society, war and peace, and the political role of women. There were also four country-specific panels on Afghanistan, Egypt, Tunisia and Turkey, which covered a variety of issues from reform of personal status laws and women in the media, to assistance to women refugees in countries that experienced prolonged periods of war. Most participants came from Muslim countries such as those represented on the country-specific panels, as well as from other nations such as Morocco, Algeria, Iran and Pakistan.
