VOTE for it NOW
Our V-Day series Afghan Women Speak: Stories From Inside Afghanistan has been chosen as a Nominee for the 29th Annual Webby Awards in the General Social – Public Service & Activism category. Webby Awards are selected by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. The 29th Annual Webby Awards was the most competitive season yet with more than 13,000 entries submitted. In November, the series won two Anthem awards in the Education, Arts & Culture category.
Afghan Women Speak amplifies the stories and voices of Afghan women who can never be silenced. Each woman’s story takes us inside the devastating reality of Afghanistan today. Since 2021, Afghan women have lost access to education, employment, and multiple other freedoms such as singing or reading aloud in public, showing their faces or bodies, looking at men who are not relatives, traveling without a male chaperone and utilizing public spaces like parks and gyms.

We believe the women of Afghanistan have the right to education, to travel, to freedom of movement, to jobs, to security – just having freedom to be able to breathe and be.
Help us raise their voices and share everywhere.
