Amplify Change
Bringing women to the table for peace talks and decision making
The Situation
While women and girls' rights have improved in Afghanistan, these hard-won gains are fragile. Too few women have been meaningfully involved in the peace talks, and too many women and girls remain at risk of violence.
Oxfam works with local civil society organizations in Afghanistan to amplify women’s voices, prevent violence against women and girls, and advocate on women’s rights policy. We are bringing women to the table to share their perspective and secure their rights.
Amplify Change is an important project in our work in women's transformative leadership.
