The leaders we elect make decisions that affect our daily lives. Elections are our chance to stand up for what matters most to us and to have an impact on the issues that affect us, our communities, our families and our future. For this very reason, Afghan Women for Election, was initiated on March 2016 as a grassroot project to empower women in rural Afghanistan take active part in elections. We host dozens of candidate debates and forums in six major provinces in the country and provided straightforward information about why women should vote for women and how they can support the right candidates.
