Women for Afghan Women (WAW) is a non-profit organization focused on protecting and promoting the rights of Afghan women and girls, both in Afghanistan and in New York. The organization provides services, education, and advocacy to individuals who have endured human rights violations such as forced and underage marriage, domestic violence, and barriers to education and employment, aiming to support self-determination and full participation in political, social, cultural, and economic life. Based in Fresh Meadows, New York, WAW has grown from a volunteer network into a large, country-spanning rights organization with a significant staff presence and programs across Afghanistan as well as a New York Community Center and a Washington, DC Advocacy Office. Since its inception, WAW has delivered services to tens of thousands of women and children, trained hundreds of thousands of individuals on women’s rights, and provided protection and monitoring services to conflict-affected populations, reflecting its role as a leading advocate and service provider in the Afghan women’s rights landscape. A recent development includes collaboration and partnerships with organizations in the broader humanitarian and advocacy space, illustrating ongoing expansion of its activities and reach.
