15 August | Five Years of Denied Rights
Five years have passed since 15 August 2021, yet Afghan women and girls continue to face severe restrictions on their fundamental rights to education, work, freedom of movement, participation, and public life.
For five years, generations of Afghan women and girls have been forced to live with uncertainty, exclusion, and barriers to opportunities that should be their basic rights not privileges.
At the Entrepreneurship Association of Afghan Women (EAAW), we stand with Afghan women and girls whose voices, aspirations, and potential cannot be erased.
Today, we remember what has been lost, recognize the resilience of Afghan women, and reaffirm our commitment to a future where every Afghan woman and girl can learn, work, lead, participate, and build her own future with dignity and freedom.
Five years is too long. Their rights cannot wait.
