The Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) was established in 1977 to fight for women's rights and equality in Afghanistan. RAWA believes that freedom and democracy must be achieved through the people of a country fighting for it, not being donated. Currently, RAWA continues to advocate for women's rights and hold events to raise awareness about the situation in Afghanistan, where religion dictates law and women are often regarded as property with little recognition. To support their efforts, readers are encouraged to subscribe to RAWA's mailing list to stay informed about their work worldwide.
