Afghan Women and Girl's Survival Fund

Need

Amid the devastating Taliban takeover, MADRE is partnering with a network of grassroots women's groups who are on the frontlines of the crisis in Afghanistan. These women's groups are operating an underground escape and support network to secure emergency relocation inside the country for women whose lives are at risk, and to provide humanitarian aid in communities facing shortages of food, fuel, and water due to the compound threats of the Taliban takeover, COVID-19, and drought.

Long term impact

MADRE resources local women's groups to sustain in-country programming that will enable the continuity of Afghan women's organizations. With your support, MADRE funds VPNs and other digital security and communications technology to help build safety and security for women in-country, and to strengthen global solidarity networks. They also support local organizing to prevent sexual slavery and protect women and girls from forms of gender-based violence associated with crisis.

About the Organization

MADRE works towards a world in which all people enjoy the fullest range of individual and collective human rights; in which resources are shared equitably and sustainably; in which women participate effectively in all aspects of society; and in which people have a meaningful say in policies that affect their lives. MADRE's vision is enacted with an understanding of the inter-relationships between the various issues we address and by a commitment to working in partnership with women at the local, regional and international levels who share our goals.
