Celebration of International Woman’s Day: Afghan Women Resilience, Agency and Activism
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, we are happy to convene an event on the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan. In this event, members of Afghanistan diaspora community will discuss, and assess their activism over the last two years in Germany and across EU. Furthermore, the space for informal networking, exchanges, and music will be provided.

About the background of the program:

With seizing of the power by the Taliban in August 2021, increased restrictions have been applied on various dimensions of women and girls life in the country. This not only marginalising them from the public sphere, but also eliminated their access to basic rights such as education, employment, movement, and participation. Such restrictions led basically to widespread dispersal of women and girls activists, journalists, lawyers, artists and etc… across the globe and a large number of them are relocated in Germany. However, in the new context, they have continued to survive and become more mobilized in diaspora communities. They advocate daily for their rights and raise their voice to impose pressure on the de facto authorities through activism and various platforms.
Therefore, we celebrate not only the International Women Day in Berlin but also assess the activism, women rights and participation both from historical perspective and future prospect. In this event:
1- Panel discussion
2- Poem and articles
3- Music
4- Networking and exchange
