WOMEN'S FORUM
ON AFGHANISTAN
The Women’s Forum on Afghanistan (WFA) is a platform led by Afghan women leaders with support from global women leaders formed to ensure the inclusion of Afghan women in the dialogue and decision-making of the international community on the future of Afghanistan.
We believe that gender equality and women’s empowerment are critical to global peace and security. Women’s rights in Afghanistan--access to education, employment, political participation, resources and freedom of movement--will be a litmus test for the Taliban and the global community.
We act on the firm belief that diversity nurtures a healthy environment for peace and development across genders, ages, cultures, professions, and abilities
Our Mission
We strive to mainstream a gender perspective and drive inclusive solutions to Afghan social and economic challenges. We are committed to ensuring access of Afghan masses to humanitarian assistance as an immediate priority, including sustaining the national education and health systems.
We are committed to ensuring that humanitarian actors live up to their professed commitments to gender equality in all aspects of their efforts to deliver assistance to the people of Afghanistan, including women as decision-makers, negotiators, project managers and direct recipients.
