Afghanaid is working with communities like Massouda's to increase understanding and acceptance of women’s rights, and to change attitudes towards issues such as violence against women and early or forced marriage.
Afghanaid works closely with influential members of communities, such as religious leaders like Mawlawi Kakar, who help us to spread positive messages about women’s rights through a culturally sensitive Islamic perspective.
Over the past few months, we have hosted a series of conferences and workshops in different areas around Kabul province to raise awareness of women’s rights within the context of Islam and campaign for a greater respect for women's rights within the local communities.
