As you may have seen in the news, the Afghan government has barred women from working in local and international humanitarian organizations.
We have temporarily halted operations and CARE is deeply concerned by the announcement that Afghan women are prohibited from working for NGOs. Without women aid workers, NGOs may not be able to reach women, girls, and families, cutting access to aid for half of a population already suffering from a hunger crisis.
Thank you again for your support and solidarity during such a critical time. We will keep you and other key donors and partners posted as the situation evolves.
