About this organization
Mission
Mission: Women for Afghan Women (WAW) is dedicated to protecting and promoting the rights of disenfranchised Afghan women and girls in Afghanistan and the U.S. In particular, WAW works to help Afghan women and girls exercise their rights to pursue their individual potential to self-determination, and to representation in all areas of life—political, social, cultural, and economic. WAW relentlessly advocates for women's rights and challenges the norms that underpin gender-based violence wherever opportunities arise to influence attitudes and bring about change. Vision: A world in which Afghan women and girls enjoy peace, justice, equality, and freedom to participate in all spheres of life and live without fear. A world in which all women and their families thrive and prosper.
