Support Afghan Women and Girls
Afghan women and girls urgently need your support.
August 15 marks five years since the Taliban takeover in August 2021. In that time, Afghanistan has stripped women and girls of their rights, dignity and freedom. More than 100 decrees now target women and girls – their bodies, their choices, and their very existence in public life.
New laws introduced this year allow husbands to “punish” their wives, legitimising domestic violence. Girls as young as 9 can be forced into marriage, their silence treated as consent.
UN Women is on the ground, delivering critical services to help women survive, stay safe, and hold onto hope for the future. Despite the many restrictions on women and girls, and the current conflicts, UN Women continues to find ways to operate and stand with those who need support the most.
Supporting local women-led organisations to continue operating. Providing emergency cash assistance, so women can afford food and medicine. Running women-only safe spaces where survivors can access counselling, dignity kits, shelter and legal support.
Please donate today and show Afghan women and girls that the world has not forgotten their struggle.
