Uplifting the Voices of Afghan Women – Fundraiser Dinner

Afghan women and girls have been erased from Afghanistan’s streets, they’ve been forced inside their homes in fear of the Taliban. If we do not support them now, they may lose their voice permananetly.

Women represent more than half the population and all development will be impossible without their involvment or their active participation. However, the recent horrific events in Afghanistan, threaten the basic human rights of Afghan women.

Refugees Women’s Network is hosting a fundraiser dinner to uplift the voices of refugee Afghan women in Clarkston, GA.

You’re invited to come hear their stories and better connect and understand the experiences of these Afghan women.
