The United Nations Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan has announced that in the past year, it has strengthened 14 women-led civil society organizations as part of a support initiative and backed their community-based programs in the eastern and western regions of the country. According to the fund, more than 8,000 residents of these areas have benefited from these programs.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, June 30, the fund wrote on its X page that the initiative was implemented by the UN Women section for Afghanistan, aiming to enhance local women’s capacities for driving change.<\/p>\n
According to published information, the program started in April 2024 and is set to be completed by October 2025. The trust fund emphasized that this effort is a direct response to the increasing restrictions on the rights, social participation, and access to essential services for Afghan women\u2014limitations that have significantly escalated since the Taliban took control of the country.<\/p>\n
The explanation of the project’s objectives highlights that building institutional capacity, strengthening resilience, and consolidating leadership among women-led civil society organizations have been key priorities. International organizations have repeatedly stressed that the continuation of restrictions on the activities and presence of women not only violates their fundamental rights but also poses a serious challenge to Afghanistan’s development and social stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
