Women & Girls

This column will serve as a platform to bring attention to the latest news, stories, and events related to the lives of women in Afghanistan. It will feature articles, interviews, and multimedia content that highlight the resilience, strength, and accomplishments of Afghan women while also addressing the hardships they continue to endure.

We firmly believe that by amplifying their voices and shedding light on their experiences, we can contribute to positive change and foster a more just and equitable society for all. To make this webpage as comprehensive and inclusive as possible, we invite women activists to submit any news, stories, or updates related to women in Afghanistan that could affect their lives.
