National Union of Afghan Workers

The National Union of Afghan Workers (NUAW) is a labor organization in Afghanistan that represents the interests of workers. Established in the late 1970s, it was formed to advocate for workers' rights, improve labor conditions, and promote social justice in a country marked by conflict and economic challenges. The union aims to empower workers through collective bargaining and support for fair labor practices. Historically, it has played a significant role in protecting workers during times of political upheaval, contributing to the development of labor laws and rights within Afghanistan’s evolving political framework.
