hello! i hope this isn't a bother, but i was wondering if you had any recommendations for ways we can help the women & girls in afghanistan?? do you know of any charities or shelters we could donate to, or even just petitions we could sign? i know there are lots of options online (women for afghan women, malala fund, etc.) but i wanted to know if you had any you'd personally recommend first. thank you for your time <3
hey! first of all, a huge thank you for considering donating/supporting in any way 💖 some organizations to donate to:
UN women/women for women international — they provide afghan women with essential resources and hold a holistic approach, combining financial aid, vocational training and psychological support to ensure long-term independence and resilience for afghan women.
women’s peace and humanitarian fund (WPHF) — they focus on empowering girls and women during crises, funding women-led organizations working on peacebuilding, humanitarian responses, and protection against gender-based violence. since 2020, they’ve supported over 51 women-led projects with $5.5 million.
CARE — CARE has been on the ground in afghanistan for decades, providing emergency relief, such as food, clean water, and healthcare, especially during crises like the current. they also focus on maternal and reproductive health, ensuring women in rural and underserved areas have access to life-saving care. it actively advocates for gender equality and the protection of women’s rights in afghanistan, pushing for policies that safeguard education and employment opportunities for afghan girls and women.
amnesty international petition — am has a petition demanding governments, including the UK, take immediate action to protect afghan women’s rights. their call includes listening to women-led organizations in afghanistan, supporting activists defending women’s rights, and ensuring asylum for those at risk. over 32,300 people have supported this initiative, which is still active.
Change.org Campaigns — multiple petitions on change.org are focused on afghan women’s education, employment rights, and freedom. these petitions aim to influence governments or international bodies to intervene against the taliban’s oppressive policies.
human rights watch actions: HRW frequently hosts campaigns and petitions targeted at addressing the global neglect of afghan women’s rights. they also emphasize holding the taliban accountable for their actions through international law.
ofc, women for afghan women and malala too!these options are the ones i’d personally recommend to amplify your voice and support afghan women who have to face the horrible oppression under the taliban regime. just signing a petition, no donation, can already help to raise awareness and make a change!!
