Safe spaces in Chamtala aren’t just structures—they’re lifelines. Women come to lead, to heal, to rebuild. Community-led, dignity-driven. #ForAllWomenAndGirls UN Women AsiaPacific UN Women Afghanistan Alison Davidian

Incredible to hear male community leaders speak with clarity and conviction about the needs of women, and the power of economic opportunities to uplift entire communities. This is the kind of championship we all need. #ForAllWomenAndGirls UN Women AsiaPacific UN Women Afghanistan Alison Davidian

Against every obstacle, Afghan women lead with courage and conviction. They are the frontline of hope—and we stand unwaveringly with them. #ForAllWomenAndGirls

My hope for Afghanistan is a future where Afghan women no longer need to be resilient out of necessity. A future where they can go to school, work, run in a park, or go to a gym and not have to think twice about it. #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Practical meeting with de facto Afghan Foreign Minister Muttaqi. Discussed humanitarian challenges, incl climate change, and progress on insecurity & drugs. Top of my agenda: huge potential of Afghan women. Development impossible without girls’ education & full participation.

Important exchanges with de facto Ministers in Kabul on urgent challenges ahead: climate shocks, returnees, existing needs, impact of funding cuts. We are engaging to ensure principled delivery. And resolute that Afghan women humanitarians must be able to do their vital work.

Afghan women are not just recipients of aid. They are strong, creative and resilient. We stand with Tom Fletcher in recognizing Afghan women's extraordinary leadership and courage, during his visit to #Afghanistan #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Why do I think aid cuts will cost lives? Because we are already seeing it. This is the impact in Afghanistan: women cycling three hours to give birth, mines uncleared, babies dying.

Hundreds of thousands of women and girls are among those returning to Afghanistan from Pakistan - facing isolation, restricted movement, threats to their safety and lost livelihoods. Investing in their future gives them a chance to rebuild with dignity. #ForAllWomenAndGirls
