GIWPS and @drops_afg released a new report showing that despite mounting dangers and dwindling resources, Afghan women are pushing forward with peace, healthcare, and education initiatives at even higher rates than women globally. Read the analysis: giwps.georgetown.edu/resourc…

Five years ago, the Taliban took control of #Afghanistan and worked to erase women and girls from public life. Yet, Afghan women continue to fight for freedom and resist oppression. GIWPS proudly stands with them for a free, peaceful, and equitable future. giwps.georgetown.edu/2026/08…

We are thrilled to announce that GIWPS was awarded the Francesca Tardioli International Award from @SapienzaRoma & @ItalyMFA for our "significant and special contribution to the implementation of the #WPS agenda." Congratulations to our team 👏

🚨 Are you attending #CSW70? Join us in New York for two side events during the 70th session of the Commission on the Status of Women! This year, CSW70 is centering on access to justice, a timely theme as women in the #HornofAfrica continue to push for their rights. That is why SIHA Network will be hosting two critical discussions: 1️⃣ Countering Anti-Gender Backlash: Pathways to Law, Policy Reform, and Access to Justice 🗓️ Date: 10 March 2026 ⏰ Time: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM EST 📍 Location: Council of Churches UN Office, New York (Drew Room) Our first panel will explore the rise of anti-gender backlash across the Greater Horn of Africa and its impact on women’s rights, civic space, and gender equality. We will also discuss how feminist actors in Uganda, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Sudan are using law, policy reform, and strategic litigation to defend rights, expand access to justice, and strengthen gender-responsive legal systems. 🔗 Register here: forms.office.com/Pages/Respo… 2️⃣ Reinvigorating the Path to Justice and Accountability: Strengthening Strategies for Prosecuting Sexual and Reproductive Violence as Genocide in Darfur 🗓️ Date: 12 March 2026 ⏰ Time: 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM EST 📍 Location: Council of Churches United Nations Office, New York (8th Floor) This side event will explore how sexual and reproductive violence in Darfur has been used strategically against women and girls from native African communities such as the Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa. We will also discuss how feminist legal strategies, grassroots documentation, and international accountability mechanisms can advance justice and reshape the understanding of such violence as a core component of genocide. 🔗 Register here: forms.office.com/Pages/Respo… If you can’t be there in person, you can still join us online—register on the links above.
