Women and Children Research and Advocacy Network is a women-led organization dedicated to creating an Afghanistan Free of Discrimination and Gender Inequality canadaJoined September 2023
“When the Taliban seized power in 2021, the women of Afghanistan’s hard-won rights were swiftly erased. Bans on education, employment, and even access to public spaces reflect not incidental repression but a deliberate policy of gender apartheid. This daily reality parallels…
For four years, Afghan girls and women have led a liberation movement — fighting to end gender apartheid through classrooms, courtrooms and coalitions.
@MalalaFund is continuing to back this fight with $3 million in grants to keep girls learning and defend their rights. Learn…
"If we want to decrease the level of child marriages, we do need to expand online education, digital learning, and cross-border scholarships so that the girls are not left out and they are not at risk" @FreshtaKarimi
"Protection services, safe houses, once a lifeline for women fleeing violence, have shut down across the country. Without shelters, survivors face the impossible choice of returning to abusive homes or risking detention." @FreshtaKarimi
"There is no path forward for Afghanistan without first dismantling the system of oppression, domination, and discrimination. This means that… prioritizing women’s rights and addressing gender-based violence is a necessary step before any progress or engagement with the…
