Afghan Women’s Network is an umbrella organization of around 103 NGO
members and 5000 individual members who are committed to support the
Afghan women.
Areas of Focus:
In order to accomplish our objectives, we act in three major
fields:
1. Networking and Coordination:
AWN’s Networking Department
struggles to develop and maintain contacts and nation-wide connections
with a variety of key governmental, non-governmental, international and
UN agencies to share experience, coordinate actions, exchange opinions, explore
funding opportunities, identify sources of technical expertise, and
enlarge the network of women activists and advocates.
2. Advocacy and
Lobbying: AWN represents and
promotes the needs of the Afghan women in political and social arenas
through its Advocacy and Lobbying Department. AWN, as the voice of the
Afghan women, pressurizes the leaders of Afghanistan for legislative
reforms to protect and promote women’s rights and concerns.
3. Capacity
Building: AWN’s Capacity Building Department focuses on
building the capacity of Afghan women so that, in the short term, they
are able to take active part in alleviating women’s life and play their
roles in the rehabilitation of their country and, in the long run, revive
the state institutions. AWN provides capacity building opportunities to
its members and to the government via the provision of technical
assistance, awareness raising, exposure visits/travel, and in-country
training programs.
