Tajikistan: Gender Attitudes & Violence Against Women

Dr. Rahimzadeh’s work with UNIFEM (United Nations Development Fund for Women) in Dushanbe, Tajikistan included research on trafficking of women and young girls – a significant problem in Central Asia.

The results included an educational booklet for Tajik women focused on self-protection.

She also traveled with a research team to rural villages conducting interviews, observation, and facilitating seminars on gender attitudes and violence against women.
