Summary of strategy

UN Women has been in Afghanistan for two decades. UN Women Afghanistan’s programming approach is informed by an analysis of the political, economic, and humanitarian situation, risks to and capacities of partner organizations, and the priorities and needs of Afghan women and girls. 

UN Women Afghanistan currently focuses on four interlinked programme priorities: (1) Gender in Humanitarian Action; (2) Ending Violence Against Women; (3) Women’s Economic Empowerment; and (4) Women, Peace, and Security.

Working in close partnership with women’s civil society as a key driver of progress and accountability on women’s rights and gender equality in the country, UN Women remains committed to supporting Afghan women and girls, and to placing them at the center of the global response to the crisis in Afghanistan.

UN Women Afghanistan operates through its main office in Kabul, and five sub-offices located in the provinces Balkh, Bamyan, Herat, Kandahar, and Nangarhar.
