AWN Background: In 1995 seven Afghan women participants of the United Nations fourth World Conference on women in Beijing, China along with other Afghan women decided to establish the Afghan Women's Network (AWN) and developed a formal structure in 1996. At the present time there are 72 NGOs and 3000 individuals who have the membership of AWN.
Mission Statement :
AWN is a non-partisan Network of women and women’s NGOs working to empower Afghan women and ensure their equal participation in Afghan society. The members of the Network also recognize the value and role of children as the future of Afghanistan and, as such, regard the empowerment and protection of children as fundamental to their work. The Network seeks to enhance the effectiveness of its members by fostering partnership and collaboration between members, undertaking advocacy and lobbying, and building their individual capacities.
AWN's critical work as a not-for-profit organization needs your support. AWN's work can only continue through the support of donors like you. For more information on the work of the AWN, please visit www.afghanwomensnetwork.org/.
