This project is a study conducted by former Judges Freshta Masomi, Zamila Sangar, and Wahida Rahimi. The study looks at domestic violence in Afghanistan, both prior to the Taliban’s return to power in 2021 and presently. These laws are compared to the laws relating to domestic violence in Canada. The two systems of laws are compared in order to highlight similarities and differences in the respective legal systems.
• In addition to highlighting similarities and differences between the laws of Canada and Afghanistan, the project helps to preserve the knowledge systems left behind by Judges Freshta Masomi, Zamila Sangar, and Wahida Rahimi in Afghanistan.
