UNFPA stands close to women in Afghanistan and supports the 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence Campaign.
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence is an international campaign that runs from 25 November, International Day of Elimination of Violence against Women, through 10 December, International Human Rights Day.
This year's theme is "From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World" highlighting the key roles women play in the family and as peacemakers and peacekeepers in war zones.
In Afghanistan, support for women's issues is one of the five priorities of the United Nations agencies and programmes.
