KABUL, 31 August 2016 - Enhancing women’s participation in public life and finding solutions to the unique problems faced by rural Afghan women were on the agenda at a UN-backed event in Kabul attended by Provincial Governor Hamid Akram.
The event was attended by more than 50 participants, including women’s rights activists, women from civil society in remote districts of Kabul province, provincial government officials and representatives from international organizations.
As the event commenced, Mr. Akram said the government must provide equal opportunities for women to participate in decision-making, and urged women to compete for government positions, especially at the district level.
Participants discussed practical solutions to issues women face, especially in rural areas where education and health services are scarce. Participants also discussed ways to strengthen women’s role in public life, including in community decision-making processes.
Also at the event, participants learned about a joint project spearheaded by the provincial government and the Goethe Institute. The project was set up to produce theatrical events focused on raising awareness about peace, reconciliation and education.
Ibrahim Hotak, the Director of the Goethe Institute, invited women to propose ideas for additional district-level initiatives that would raise awareness about the importance of women’s role in society.
Gabriela Iribarne, the head of the Kabul regional office of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), talked at the event, and asked participants to reflect, as women, on their legacy, the impact they will have on the next generation of women.
“Small efforts to change traditional attitudes to expand girls and women’s choices, within the family and community, can eventually lead to broader movements for change,” she said.
UNAMA is mandated to support the Afghan Government and the people of Afghanistan as a political mission that provides good offices; promotes coherent development support by the international community; supports the process of peace and reconciliation; monitors and promotes human rights and the protection of civilians in armed conflict; promotes good governance; and encourages regional cooperation.

The Fridtjof Nansen of Cameroon
(from Dr Meke Soung Pierre Nolasque, Deputy Director, ISH, Douala, Cameroon)
Mr Tchoufong, the father of Mr Fridtjof Nansen Tchoufong, a graduate student of the University of Douala Institute of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (ISH), Cameroon, was working at a famous hotel located in Douala when he heard about Fridtjof Nansen through a South African radio broadcast. He admired the profile of the famous man and decided to give this name to one of his sons. On 2 October 1990 when a son was born to him, Mr Tchoufong named him Fridtjof Nansen. Some ethnic groups in Cameroon believe that “a son dies or lives by the name he is given. This is to suggest that carrying the name of a famous person always leads to favours for the sake of that name”. The young Nansen of Cameroon is now in the second year of a master’s programme in Oceanography at ISH.
Le Fridtjof Nansen du Cameroun
(message du Dr Meke Soung Pierre Nolasque, directeur adjoint, ISH Douala, Cameroun)
M. Tchoufong, le père de M. Fridtjof Nansen Tchoufong, un étudiant diplômé à l’Institut des sciences halieutiques et aquatiques (ISH) de l’Université de Douala, au Cameroun, travaillait dans un célèbre hôtel situé à Douala quand il a entendu parler de Fridtjof Nansen durant une émission radio sud-africaine. Il a admiré l’histoire de cet homme célèbre et a décidé de donner son nom à l’un de ses fils. Le 2 octobre 1990, lors de la naissance d’un de ses fils, M. Tchoufong l’a appelé Fridtjof Nansen. Certains groupes ethniques au Cameroun croient qu’«un fils meurt ou vit en fonction du nom qui lui est donné» suggérant que porter le nom d’une personne célèbre favorise toujours la personne. Le jeune Nansen du Cameroun est actuellement en seconde année du programme de master en océanographie de l’ISH.
