Mission: Support Afghan contributions to collaborative movements that, when unified and with international support, can negotiate for a free and peaceful Afghanistan
Our Objectives
1.) Create a space for inclusive discussions for all who support a free and peaceful Afghanistan
2.)- Establish a process to vet ideas and develop consensus among the different groups
3.)- Encourage the international community to support and recognize this movement
4.)- Deny the Taliban international legitimacy and platforms
"If a mother is educated, she will never raise a child to be a terrorist, extremist and human right abuser. If we want a world free of extremism, terrorism and human rights abuses, then raise your voice in support of girls' education in Afghanistan."
