Health and rights for women and girls
Women's Hope International works to ensure that girls and women everywhere can live self-determined and healthy lives. Together with our partner organisations, we are committed to improving health services around pregnancy and birth in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Bangladesh and Chad. We empower women to claim their sexual and reproductive rights and to resist gender-based violence.
How we work
Together with the Alliance "Gender Equality & Health" and our local partner organizations, we are taking a multifaceted approach to address the challenges at their roots wherever possible.
Humanitarian catastrophe at the Afghan-pakistani border
The emergency aid provided by our partner PUI (Première Urgence Internationale) for the displaced Afghan people is in full swing. We are joining this emergency assistance effort and specifically supporting measures aimed at sexual and reproductive health.
UNBROKEN RESILIENCE OF WOMEN IN AFGHANISTAN
Taliban rule is having an impact on the programme work of Women's Hope and its partner organisations in Afghanistan. The challenges are great - but the small-scale successes for the women in the country are all the more important.
climate change predominantly affects girls and women
Climate change is not gender-neutral. It affects girls and women in particular. That is why gender justice and climate policy must be tackled together.
International cooperation in transition
