This report discusses the problems arising from gender-based international aid in post-conflict Afghanistan. It highlights the increasing disappointment expressed by Afghans with the aid community, particularly in relation to women’s issues. Problems include the neglect of men in gender programming; local perceptions of "gender" as a foreign term; and the sidelining of Afghan perspectives.
