Afghan Women's Foundation (AWF) is proud to take part in "From Declaration to Action"
Sughra Saadat, Founder of the Afghan Women's Foundation (AWF), will be speaking at "From Declaration to Action: Advancing the Recognition of Gender Apartheid as a Crime Against Humanity" on August 13 at Carleton University, Ottawa.
This event marks the Canadian public launch of the International Experts' Declaration on Gender Apartheid , an initiative developed with more than 50 leading international legal experts and advocates, including Nobel laureates and former UN officials.
Five years after the Taliban's return to power, this gathering offers a space to reflect on the realities facing Afghan women and girls, and to call on the Government of Canada to champion the inclusion of gender apartheid in the proposed Crimes Against Humanity Convention.
The event is free and open to the public.
