AFGHAN WOMEN - Hear the Voices of the Silenced

Send us Fan MailThe Women’s Rights Network Afghanistan group works to connect silenced women with volunteers in the UK to give them a voice - through mentoring, education and friendship. Since the Taliban retook control, women and girls have been forced to live under the most oppressive edicts.This summer a symbolic mass action in honour of them was held in Parliament Square, led by international yachtswoman and WRN member Tracy Edwards, whose charity Maiden raises funds for girls' educational programmes around the world.  Plus, it gave a voice to some of the women known to WRN in Afghanistan.You can hear more stories from Afghan women on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@saarstories8146, and on X https://x.com/SaarStoriesDownload a UK education pack from https://www.themaidenfactor.orgIf you enjoyed listening to this podcast and would like to hear more, go to womensrights.network/wrn-podcast to listen, download and subscribe to more of our episodes.  And if you’d like to join our conversations, go to womensrights.network/join-wrn
