On the work ban for female ngo-staff in afghanistan
These days, the rights of women in Afghanistan continue to be massively restricted: On Dec. 22, 2022 female students were banned from entering universities. Widespread protests are taking place in response. Male students and professors also show their solidarity and stop working — to which the de-facto government partly responded with firing.
On December 24, 2022, the Afghan Ministry of Economy announced that female employees of national and international NGOs would be banned from coming to work, effective the next day. In the event of non-compliance, the organizations’ licenses would be revoked.
WHAT NOW?
The ban on female colleagues working represented one of the bases for many international organizations to continue their work in Afghanistan. That red line has now been crossed. Various NGOs have announced they will end their work in Afghanistan.
Through their actions, the de facto government is massively endangering humanitarian aid and development cooperation. In the escalating humanitarian catastrophe, it is imperative to ensure the safety and free exercise of NGOs in the country.
OUR WORK?
To protect our colleagues in Afghanistan, the female employees of our partner organizations have stopped working for the time being. We are in constant exchange with our colleagues on the ground. Their recommendation is to observe the situation and developments over the next few days and only then make further decisions.
As of now, we are committed to staying active in Afghanistan and providing humanitarian assistance, especially during the winter months and while many NGOs are leaving the country. Every donation is an important contribution!
HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT
SIGN OUR PETITION
In our petition, we call on the German government to finally take responsibility for the situation in Afghanistan. Because: For too long nothing has happened and through the hasty withdrawal of troops and a complete misjudgement of the danger situation, the German government has contributed to the crisis situation in Afghanistan.
Do you agree? Sign our petition.

OUR PROJECTS
EDUCATION
With our educational projects, we support schools in establishing their infrastructure, and we strengthen the capacities of our target group by providing, among other things, continuing education in order to create an adequate learning atmosphere and ensure a high quality of education.
EMERGENCY AID
In crisis areas, people often lack the bare necessities. Our association works to provide people in need with essential goods at least twice each year.
Integration
In the past few years, we have seen an enormous increase in the number of refugees in Germany. We regularly organize initiatives that aim to support their integration in Hamburg.

Zeina Nassar
“Education is the first step to independence, to master one’s life and to provide for oneself and one’s family. That is why I want to inspire hope in children with my commitment.”
Wana Limar
“Education teaches us means and ways to take control of our lives. It makes us independent and shows us how much we all depend on each other and how important mutual help is.”
Lena Meyer-Landrut
“I think this is a great project with lots and lots of heart. It is about your own roots and about implementing something in the places where you know that something is needed.”
Farhot
“I believe that in smaller organizations, people work with more heart. To be honest, I can’t think of any excuse not to donate money. As an overprivileged, lucky fellow, I think it would be presumptuous not to give anything back.”
Usama Elyas
“I prefer small associations that I trust. I immediately think: they surely don’t spend half of their donations on administration, as is the case with the big ones. Positive prejudice, in other words.”
Chefket
“Without education I wouldn’t be where I am now. I am socially active without even thinking about it too much. I now know the people from Visions for Children e.V. personally, and I think that the money is in good hands with them.”
