<p>The UK is committed to supporting women who are victims of all forms of violence
in Afghanistan. From 2014-2016 the UK funded a £3.1m programme which helps women who
have been victims of violence to get the justice they deserve. The programme trained
hundreds of government officials, community members, police, judiciary, religious
leaders, and law students on the Ending Violence Against Women law. It also established
a hotline that provided counselling and legal support to survivors of violence which
took over 25000 calls from over two years from women who had been victims of domestic
and other forms of violence.</p><p>Between 2016 and 2018, the UK is providing £3.1m
to UNFPA to establish Family Protection Centres in hospitals that provide health,
counselling, legal services and referrals to women who have been victims of violence
in Afghanistan.</p>
