Empowering Afghan Women and Girls

Women for Afghan Women (WAW) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for the rights of Afghan women and girls. Founded in 2001, WAW has been at the forefront of efforts to empower women in Afghanistan and the Afghan diaspora in the United States. With a mission to promote gender equality and provide essential services, WAW has made significant strides in improving the lives of countless women and girls.

Our Story

WAW was established by a group of Afghan women who recognized the urgent need for support and advocacy in a country where women have faced systemic discrimination and violence. The organization began its journey in New York City, where it provided a safe haven for Afghan women fleeing violence and persecution. Over the years, WAW has expanded its reach, establishing programs in Afghanistan that focus on education, healthcare, and legal assistance.

In Afghanistan, WAW operates community centers that serve as safe spaces for women and girls. These centers offer educational programs, vocational training, and mental health support, empowering women to reclaim their rights and build a better future for themselves and their families. WAW also advocates for policy changes that protect women's rights and promote gender equality at the national level.

Impact of Women for Afghan Women

WAW's impact is profound and far-reaching. Since its inception, the organization has served thousands of women and girls, providing them with the tools and resources they need to thrive. Key achievements include:

• Education: Over 5,000 women and girls have received education and vocational training, enabling them to secure employment and become financially independent.
• Legal Assistance: WAW has provided legal support to over 1,000 women facing domestic violence and other legal challenges, helping them navigate the justice system.
• Healthcare Services: The organization has facilitated access to healthcare for thousands of women, addressing both physical and mental health needs.

WAW's commitment to empowering Afghan women and girls has not only transformed individual lives but has also contributed to the broader movement for gender equality in Afghanistan.
