The gender alert focuses primarily on the immediate repercussions of the ban on humanitarian assistance\, as well as the implications for the economy and women’s empowerment. It concludes that the ban: \n\nis discriminatory and dictates whom humanitarian actors can(not) employ\, and whom they can reach with assistance;\nhas multilayered implications that go beyond the inability of reaching women and girls with life-saving assistance\, including dealing a further blow to the Afghan economy amid the ongoing crisis; and\nspeeds up the erasure of Afghan women and girls from all aspects of Afghan public life.\n\nAbout Zarifa Ghafari: \nZarifa Ghafari received the 2022 International Women’s Right Award at United Nations Geneva Summit. She was included by BBC in the list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2019. On March 4\, 2020\, Zarifa Ghafari was honored by the U.S. Department of State as an “International Women of Courage” and she was included in The Badass 50 list. In 2020\, she received the award: “Women Who Can Change the World by InStyle” as well as many other awards and lists within the country from various organizations. \nAbout UN Women: \nUN Women is the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. A global champion for women and girls\, UN Women was established to accelerate progress on meeting their needs worldwide. \nAbout DAKDIF: \nThe Danish Afghan Women Forum (DAKDIF) was established in January 2021 to promote Afghan women’s access to education\, economic growth\, their participation in social and political landscape on both a national and international scale\, and civic engagements. DAKDIF strives to provide Afghan women with the necessary tools and resources to participate and engage in civic\, social and political activities.
