With winter approaching, the consequences of the restrictions agains women in Afghanistan become even more cruel: women are not allowed to move freely without a male companion. This means that single or widowed women are completely cut off from social life. That's why this year's winter emergency relief is aimed at women-headed households in Afghanistan. Together with our local partners, we will support around 140 families in Mazar-e-Sharif with food and winter supplies during the cold months.
No right to education, no chance of work, no opportunity to express their own opinions. This is a terrifying reality for women in Afghanistan. And now the icy winter is setting in, leading to deaths from hunger and frostbite every year. In winter, the consequences of oppression are even more cruel: women are not allowed to move freely without a male companion. Single or widowed women are completely cut off from social life. This can also mean that they have no access to food or medical care.
This is why our winter emergency relief this year is aimed at women-headed households in Afghanistan. Together with our long-standing local partner organization OASE, we want to support around 140 families in Mazar-e-Sharif with essential food and winter supplies during the icy months. For example, the composition of the packages could look like this: 50kg flour, 24kg rice, 10kg beans, 5kg pasta, 2kg tomato paste, 1kg tea, 7kg sugar, 10l oil and a warm blanket.
Together we can ensure that 140 women-headed households in Afghanistan can survive this winter. Every donation can save lives.
