The Government is committed to upholding the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan.â¯We continue to raise rights of women and girls in our political engagement with the Taliban. We continue to mainstream support to women and girls across our programmes to ensure we take every opportunity to support women and girls' access to services. This includes reaching up to 2.5m women and girls through our support to the World Food Programme (WFP) with in-kind food or cash assistance, and up to 4m women and girls through the UK's contribution to the UN's Afghan Humanitarian Fund (AHF). In addition our funding through other agencies has included support for access to; sustainable clean water & sanitation, nutrition treatment and primary healthcare services as well as support provided in response to gender-based violence. We continue to engage with Afghan women to ensure we are responding to their needs.
