UNICEF stands firmly with the women and girls of Afghanistan, and is committed to supporting their safety, full access to rights and services.Ī key sector supported by UNICEF is the health sector which continues to provide critical services to Afghan women and children in coordination with service providers. Despite these challenges, Afghan women and girls continue to play a pivotal role in the functioning of their country. Since 15 August 2021, women and girls have been facing reinforced restrictions in exercising their rights and freedoms and access to essential services.
