Helping Afgan Women

Apologies if this is already a thread, I had a look but I couldn't find anything.

Like many, I've been watching with great anxiety over whats been happening in Afganistan over the last few days. It's heartbreaking to think of the women, girls and other people whose lives will be so drastically impacted by Taliban control of their country.

On the news this morning I heard how some Women's Rights organisations were chartering flights to bring people out and I wanted to know if anyone else had heard about this or knew of any other practical ways in which we in the UK could do something, anything, to support Afgan Women?

There are some suggestions in this thread that might be useful.

There are some on here too.

It feels pretty hopeless at the moment.

Does anyone know about the organisation Women for Women International ? They appear to be grounded, women centred, focusing on women in need - refugees, in war zones and currently significantly involved in Afghanistan at the moment:

@WeAreTheWomen

This web site www.hawca.org/new/index.php seems to have disappeared. I didn't take a screen shot so dont have the contacts. I hope this doesn't indicate anything really bad has happened to them.

Fundraiser still seems to be live.

Hope those running the org are ok. ☹️
