WHAT WE DO
Our Mission
The Women’s Forum on Afghanistan strives to ensure that Afghan women’s perspectives are meaningfully integrated into key regional and international decision-making related to Afghanistan. Led by Afghan women, the Women’s Forum advocates for the recognition and protection of their rights on the global stage, as both Afghans—within the country and in exile—and the international community navigate an increasingly complex political landscape.
ADVOCATING FOR AFGHAN WOMEN’S INCLUSION AND LEADERSHIP AND AFFIRMING THAT THEIR RIGHTS ARE KEY TO PEACE—AND A TEST OF THE WORLD’S COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVING IT.
Our Vision
We envision a just and inclusive Afghanistan where women are equal actors and decision-makers across all arenas: in education, politics, business, and society.
