Upholding the Rights of Afghan Women and Girls…

The deliberate exclusion of Afghan women and girls from education and public life is a grave threat to Afghanistan's stability, undermining efforts to rebuild the nation. Furthermore, climate change has intensified these challenges, particularly for women-headed households facing food insecurity, malnutrition, and displacement due to worsening droughts and extreme weather events. Without urgent intervention, generations of Afghan women and girls' risk being permanently erased from society, with devastating consequences for the country's future.

Objectives:

• Assess the current situation of Afghan women and girls under the Taliban's restrictive policies.
• Examine the consequences of the continued exclusion of women from education, employment, and healthcare.
• Highlight the international responsibility to support Afghan women in reclaiming their fundamental rights.
• Identify concrete actions to ensure their inclusion in humanitarian, social, and economic frameworks.
