Help women in Afghanistan

© CARE / Kate Holt© CARE / Kate Holt

Can you spare a minute to lend your support to women in Afghanistan?

October sees ten years of UK and US military intervention in Afghanistan. In that time, women have struggled hard to win limited rights.

Yet Afghanistan remains one of the most difficult, dangerous places to be a woman.

Along with other charities we're trying to get as many people as possible to help Afghan women and girls to shape a new future.
