A New Way Forward:Online Education for Young Women in AfghanistanThe Taliban TakeoverFollowing the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, UWHAW had to suspend sending funds to Gawharshad University in Kabul for girls' scholarships. This decision was necessitated by Canadian anti-terrorist laws. Hence, UWHAW was unable to fulfill one of its primary mandates - to support education for girls in Afghanistan. In December 2022, compounding the already dire situation, the Taliban imposed a ban that prohibited young women from going to university. A new solution had to be found. UWHAW’s New Way ForwardUWHAW has partnered with a well-established Canadian organization, Right to Learn Afghanistan (formerly Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan) and has implemented their Remote Communication Assistance (RCA) program. This program provides laptops, internet access and power banks so that the young women in Afghanistan can access online learning.
We are very excited to be able to provide the tools to young women in Afghanistan which will enable them to access online learning, resume their education and give them renewed hope for their future. LEARN MORE |
