Women for Afghan Women is a women's human rights organization which operates life-saving programs in New York City and across Afghanistan. We also advocate for women’s rights in Washington, D.C. and with Afghan leaders. In the coming months and years, they plan to expand their work throughout Afghanistan and also to Afghan communities in other parts of the world. 

Their organization exists to protect and advance human rights, and to be a voice and force for justice. They are a community-based organization (with Afghans representing 99% of staff), and from their inception in April 2001, they have advanced their mission by working deep in community, respecting and embracing the culture, religion and traditions of their clients.
