In 2015, the conflict in Afghanistan continued to cause extreme harm to the civilian population, with the highest number of total civilian casualties (deaths and injuries) recorded by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) since 2009. Conflict-related violence increasingly harmed the most vulnerable people: in 2015, one in 10 civilian casualties was a woman and one in four was a child. Overall civilian casualties increased by 4 per cent in 2015, compared with 2014. UNAMA documented a 37 per cent increase in women casualties and a 14 per cent increase in child casualties.
