Women Leading Peace (WLP) is a women-founded and women-led NGO focused on Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda. Grounded in decolonial and locally-driven approaches, it is dedicated to Afghan women’s meaningful inclusion, participation and leadership of peacebuilding processes and dialogues about the future governance of Afghanistan.
Women Leading Peace aims to:
Forge a network of trained advocates dedicated to promoting international recognition of gender apartheid and advancing the leadership and inclusion of Afghan women in Afghanistan's political, civic, and social domains.
Equip and inspire women peacebuilders to lead change, shape their narratives, and advocate for their own needs and demands.
Work toward overcoming structural barriers that prevent women from fully participating in decision-making.
Our vision is a peaceful Afghanistan where everyone, particularly women, lives a life of dignity and is not narrowed to symbolic instruments of political change.
An Afghanistan where women are beyond symbolic measures of inclusion and representation, where there are no hurdles for women to lead peace and transform conflict, and where women are at the center and the driver of positive change in their communities.
Our Advocacy and Civil Engagement Program provides training and resource allocation for Afghan women advocates and activists, ensuring they're equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to advocate effectively.
We gather stories, surveys, and messages directly from Afghan women on the ground to highlight their needs and demands and raise their efforts on the international stage.
Unite Afghan woman's rights activists from the diaspora, those within Afghanistan and women from diverse resistance movements to form a unedified force and collaborate effectively.
