Written Question
Afghanistan: Females
Tuesday 26th April 2022

Asked by: Andrew Jones (Conservative - Harrogate and Knaresborough)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

What steps she is taking to help support women and girls in Afghanistan.

Answered by James Cleverly - Shadow Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government

Last month we co-hosted a donor conference with the UN, Qatar and Germany. This raised over $2.4 billion for the UN’s humanitarian appeal.

Ahead of the summit, the Foreign Secretary announced the UK’s pledge of £286 million for Afghanistan this financial year.

The Foreign Secretary has committed to prioritising funding for women and girls. In Afghanistan, we will ensure at least 50% of those we reach with our aid should be women and girls.
