Executive Summary
Between 2006 and 2008, Edit Schlaffer, together with an international research team surveyed a total of 4,400 male and female students across the country, as it can be assumed that the educated generation will be the driving force for debate and change in the coming years. The students came from King Saud University in Riyadh, King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah, Dar el Hekma University in Jeddah, Al Qassim University in Qassim, and King Faisal University in Dammam.
The results show an impressive common denominator: the female and male voices in the study desire to and feel confident about promoting women’s status in Saudi Arabia. Family is paramount, religion is treasured and tradition is respected.

The trainings-manual was developed for the project "Empowerment of Afghan women for Afghan Women" (see finished projects). The second edition was realised in cooperation with the UNFPA and was translated into Dari and Pashto. 10.000 copies were printed and distributed throughout the country.
The Project "Empowerment of Afghan Women for Afghan Women", financed by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA), was running until January, 2005. The project and the specially developed workshop manual and resource book "Our Country My Role" was a very successful initiative to support women in their efforts towards long term participation in political and public life and in particular to take part in the elections. The handbook is going to be distributed further on and has become a very welcome material for different groups and organisations to work with. Read the project end report in English!
