Our Work

The systematic oppression of women and girls by the Taliban, which entails their exclusion from educational opportunities, employment, and participation in public life, is commonly referred to as gender apartheid. Historically, Afghan women enjoyed greater rights, particularly in the mid-20th century, which granted them access to education and professional opportunities. However, during the Taliban’s initial rule from 1996 to 2001, these rights were revoked, and although some freedoms were regained after 2001, the Taliban’s recent return in 2021 has led to the reinstatement of severe restrictions. Women are now prohibited from attending universities, pursuing many professions, and accessing public spaces. These policies flagrantly violate human rights standards and have elicited global condemnation; nevertheless, the Taliban persists in enforcing them, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.

Canada Humanitarian initiatives aim to assist Afghan women by providing educational opportunities through online platforms, offering financial assistance to displaced women, and promoting stronger international action. Additionally, the organization plans to collaborate with global entities to enhance its effectiveness and draw attention to the gender inequalities present in Afghanistan.

Efforts to address gender apartheid in Afghanistan necessitate consistent global pressure and support for Afghan women. Canada Humanitarian Initiatives play a pivotal role in the provision of education, financial assistance, and advocacy. Through support for refugees and amplification of Afghan women’s voices, they contribute to keeping this issue at the forefront of the international agenda. Bringing an end to this systemic oppression requires collective action to ensure that Afghan women can reclaim their rights and freedoms.

The Canada Humanitarian Initiative is committed to supporting Afghan women and girls by providing access to education through online schooling. Since the Taliban banned female education beyond primary school, millions of Afghan girls have been denied their basic right to learn. Through digital platforms, we aim to bridge this gap, offering remote lessons in core subjects, professional skills, and language training. Education is a powerful tool for empowerment, and despite restrictions, Afghan girls remain eager to learn and build a better future.

Our initiative partners with educators, volunteers, and organizations worldwide to create accessible and culturally relevant online courses. We provide secure learning opportunities, ensuring students can study safely from home. By equipping Afghan women with knowledge and skills, we help them pursue careers, support their families, and contribute to their communities even in the face of adversity. Technology allows us to reach those who have been silenced and ensure they continue their education despite the Taliban’s oppression.

We call on the global community to support online education for Afghan girls by donating, volunteering, or spreading awareness. Education is not just a privilege but a fundamental right, and together, we can help Afghan women reclaim their future. The resilience of Afghan girls inspires us, and we remain dedicated to ensuring they have the opportunities they deserve.

The Canada Humanitarian Initiative is dedicated to supporting orphaned children in Afghanistan, who face extreme hardship due to conflict, poverty, and the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Decades of war and instability have left thousands of children without families, struggling to survive without access to proper care, education, or basic necessities. The Taliban’s restrictions on aid and employment have only worsened their situation, making it even more urgent to provide them with protection and support.

Our initiative works to provide food, shelter, medical care, and education for orphaned children through trusted local partners. We focus on safe housing, psychological support, and schooling to help them rebuild their lives. Every child deserves a chance to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment, and by offering resources and opportunities, we aim to give them hope for a better future.

We urge the global community to stand with Afghan orphans by donating, volunteering, and advocating for their rights. With your support, we can ensure these children receive the care and education they need to thrive. Together, we can give them not just survival, but the opportunity for a brighter future.
