About the movement

Through education, awareness-raising, advocacy, and international cooperation, WJM represents the voice of Afghan women inside and outside the country and works toward building a free, equal, and humane society.

WJM combines public advocacy, documentation, education and empowerment, humanitarian and psychosocial support, media and cultural work, economic initiatives, international networking, and security-conscious support for women human rights defenders.

Our vision

We envision a society where Afghan women and girls live in freedom and safety, with equal rights and opportunities.
