Stand with Afghan women and girls
A gender apartheid is unfolding in Afghanistan. Since the Taliban retook control five years ago, women and girls have been systematically erased from public life. We cannot accept this. Will you help us ensure that Afghan women are not forgotten? Add your name now:
Afghan women need our solidarity like never before. Sign now.
Since the Taliban retook control, girls have been banned from secondary education, women have been pushed out of public life, and new rules have removed the minimum age for marriage, placing more girls at risk of child marriage.
Women in Afghanistan continue to resist. They are organising, advocating and supporting one another despite extraordinary danger.
Their voices are being silenced, but their courage remains. Add your name today to show them they are not standing alone.
Womankind is doing everything we can to sustain and fund the women’s movement in Afghanistan. We’re staying in constant communication with women’s rights activists inside Afghanistan and those who have sought safety outside the country. We’re working to ensure that Afghan women’s voices are heard so global leaders can take note – and you can join us by adding your name today.
