A/HRC/31/46 1325 (2000) by the first half of 2016, following approval of donor financing by the end of 2015; (b) issuance of an anti-harassment regulation aimed at improving the working environment for women in the public sector by the first half of 2016; and (c) establishment of dedicated prosecution units for cases of violence against women in 26 provinces by December 2016. The inclusion of these indicators and deliverables reflects the strong advocacy of UNAMA/OHCHR with the Government and donors. 66. During the reporting period, progress on the integration of women into political, economic and social life remained slow. The National Unity Government appointed four women to ministerial posts, namely, Women’s Affairs; Higher Education; Labour, Social Affairs, Martyrs and Disabled; and Counter Narcotics. Two women were selected to be the governors of Daikundi and Ghor provinces; the latter was removed from her position in December 2015 to become the Deputy Governor of Kabul province. A woman was nominated as a judge of the Supreme Court of Justice amid opposition from conservative sectors, including members of the Ulema Council. She was not confirmed, falling short by nine votes in the National Assembly (Wolesi Jirga). While these appointments comply with commitments made during the London Conference on Afghanistan in December 2014, the representation of women in leadership roles remains extremely low, tends to be limited to the provincial capitals and is often symbolic. 67. Notwithstanding progress in the recruitment of women police officers, the representation of women in the Afghan National Police remained minimal, standing at approximately 2,700 (1.5 per cent of the overall force) at the end of October. In August, in an effort to boost recruitment, the Ministries of Interior and Women’s Affairs signed a memorandum of understanding requiring local Ministry of Women’s Affairs offices to identify suitable women candidates interested in joining police academies and disseminate informational and publicity materials to attract more women to the Afghan National Police. Projects to support women police officers, such as separate rooms and washrooms, were also initiated. V. Peace and reconciliation, including accountability and transitional justice 68. In 2015, UNAMA/OHCHR continued to support the third phase of the Afghan People’s Dialogue on Peace. A national Dialogue conference was held on 15 January, in Kabul city, providing a forum for civil society activists from all over Afghanistan to discuss mechanisms for peacebuilding in the presence of the Second Vice-President and other National Unity Government authorities. At the conclusion of the conference, delegates issued a joint statement appealing to the Government to support the four areas identified as priority objectives for provincial civil society advocacy committees: (a) the promotion of responsive State institutions upholding human rights and rule of law and tackling the culture of impunity and widespread corruption; (b) the strengthening of security institutions and the disarming and disempowering of illegal armed groups and other pro-Government militias; (c) equitable social and economic development, fostering job creation and strengthening the education system; and (d) an inclusive peace process. 69. Between 1 January and 30 November, 32 provincial civil society committees were established, comprising a total of 362 (74 per cent) male and 127 (26 per cent) female members. These committees advocated with authorities on the 10-point national road map for peace, the 33 recommendations contained in the summary report on phase II of the Dialogue, and the provincial road maps for peace. In line with the principle of Afghan leadership and ownership of peacebuilding initiatives, UNAMA/OHCHR played a facilitating role as the secretariat of the steering committee of the Afghan People’s Dialogue on Peace and supported civil society organizations in leading an inclusive, rights- 14
