INITIATIVES

- Afghanistan Refugee Fundraiser -

Global Girlhood allied with GirlUp Wajood and GirlUp HXLS to raise over $700 for Women for Afghan Women in September 2021 after the Taliban overthrew the Afghan government. This militant group has violated women’s rights in the past, and their takeover resulted in thousands of refugees and internally displaced people.

Women for Afghan Women is a grassroots non-profit organization for women by women, and our donation helped them protect internally displaced women and children in Afghanistan and provide vital housing, immigration legal support, education services, mental health counseling, and more to new Afghan refugees in the US.
