French Sénat: Roundtable On The Situation of Afghan Women

25.11.21 - On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, our founder Nassim Majidi was invited to speak at a roundtable at the French Sénat on the current situation for women in Afghanistan, and actions that can be taken by France and the international community in response.

Nassim explored the multi-faceted impact of the current humanitarian crisis on Afghan women, alongside the widespread risk of gender-based violence. She also highlighted the barriers Afghan women and girls are facing in accessing family reunification programmes, and the disparity between men and women in terms of possession of legal identity documents.
