How is assistance targeted to reach Afghan women and girls?
DFID strongly supports the common programming approach under the United Nations-led Strategic Framework for Afghanistan. This is intended to provide a principled, co-ordinated and coherent approach to humanitarian assistance programming. One of its key themes is the protection and advancement of human rights, with particular emphasis on gender. Our funds are channelled through UN agencies, the Red Cross movement and NGOs. Those agencies continue to focus on the rights of Afghan women and girls, both inside Afghanistan and in neighbouring countries.
