Afghan women fighting for their civil rights and seeking empowerment through education, away from the Taliban regime, surely fit this description. The situation in Afghanistan has become increasingly dangerous in the past years, particularly for women and girls who are seeking an education. As of last fall, girls can no longer study after their twelfth birthday, as the Taliban’s 2021 takeover has made it impossible for them to continue their studies and achieve their dreams.

That’s why we are raising funds to assist young Afghan women in finding a safe haven where they can continue their education and build a future for themselves.
Unfortunately, Canada's refugee programs for Afghanistan are currently full, leaving many young women stranded in a perilous situation. For many of these women, education is their only hope for a brighter future.
The first woman we are working to help is Sooriya
An exceptional young woman with a promising career, she has worked for years to promote people's rights — especially those of women — and to fight for more transparent governance in Afghanistan.
With your help, we can provide them with the necessary financial support to cover their education, housing, and living expenses while they settle into their new lives in Canada — until they quickly reach a level of financial autonomy. Your donation will also help us cover government-related costs for the issuance of their study permits, and plane tickets to Canada.
Our team at For the Refugees is committed to working closely with partners and Canadian authorities to ensure these young women can access all the resources and support they need to start their new lives. We are also partnering with local organizations and educational institutions to provide these young women with mentorship, counseling, and career guidance.
Finally, we want to create new alliances with different Canadian universities and partners in order to give these women access to lower tuition fees and scholarships so that we may lower their financial burden and help make their education a true path forward for their future, as well as the future of Canada and Afghanistan.
We believe that education is a fundamental human right and that everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, should have access to it. By contributing to our fundraising campaign at For the Refugees, you are not only supporting the education of young Afghan women but also helping to build a more just and equitable world. Educated women are the most powerful tool in any society!
Please consider making a donation today and help us at For the Refugees make a difference in the lives of these young women. Together, we can make a brighter future for all.
Thank you for your support.
