Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA)

The Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1977 that advocates for women's rights, democracy, and social justice in Afghanistan. It aims to empower Afghan women by promoting education, equality, and resistance against oppressive regimes and extremist groups. RAWA operates through activism, education, and humanitarian support, often facing threats due to its outspoken stance against sexism, violence, and political corruption. Despite challenges, RAWA remains a significant voice advocating for Afghan women's freedom and human rights, both within Afghanistan and internationally.
