We re very excited to invite you to the online event.
For the last year, CFFP has been guided by and working with a steering committee of Afghan women experts and human rights activists, with the goal of ensuring that their expertise, recommendations, and perspectives are placed at the centre of international and national policies. This has culminated in a list of demands as published in our policy brief “At the centre. Afghan. Women Experts’ Policy Demands”, and will now be launched as part of the online webinar launch event: ”At The Centre: Afghan Women Experts’ Policy Demands” on 29 March 2023, 3.00 – 4.00 pm CEST.

Together we work to centre the perspectives of Afghan women rights activists and experts in all policy discussions. Only when all foreign policies are informed by the impacted communities grounded in an intersectional understanding of human rights for all, will they contribute to a more just, equitable, and peaceful world.
Join us, and our excellent speakers for this crucial discussion.
