The “Women and Girls in Crisis: 2024 Gender Analysis of Key Humanitarian Sectors in Afghanistan” report provides an in-depth examination of the multifaceted challenges facing Afghan women and girls amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis. Drawing upon extensive primary and secondary research—including the 2024 Whole of Afghanistan Assessment (WoAA) and Strengthening accountability to women and girls in Afghanistan (2024), supported by UN Women— the report outlines how entrenched gender inequality, systemic barriers, and restrictive policies under the de facto authorities (DFA) have compounded vulnerabilities across all humanitarian sectors. It also highlights commitments clusters have made to consider these issues when drafting the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan. Finally, it offers recommendations for a path forward. Since the DFA seizure of power in 2021, a cascade of restrictive measures have severely curtailed the rights and freedoms of women and girls. The report leverages data collected from over 20,000 interviews across Afghanistan’s 34 provinces from July-August 2024, to capture a comprehensive snapshot of these challenges. The two primary datasets that underpin this analysis provide critical insights into how gender norms, economic hardships, and policy-driven restrictions interact to marginalize Afghan women in education, health, livelihood, protection, and essential service delivery.
