As the restrictions continue to mount, it is increasingly important to safely consult with women and girls on their needs and priorities. The Afghanistan gender monitoring survey (AGMS) is intended to provide a snapshot of women’s own perceptions of their situation and to bring the voices of Afghan women into data collection efforts to inform the humanitarian-development response. The AGMS interviews were conducted in September and October 2022. This first round of data collection will provide an important baseline from which to assess the additional impacts of the December bans. This report presents the main results of the AGMS, conducted by the World Bank.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOGENDERWOMENFREEDOM OF EXPRESSIONACCESS TO EDUCATIONEMPLOYMENTRESTRICTIONSReportWorld Bank10.1596/39708
