Specialties
WAW NY is a home away from home for Afghan women. It is a safe space for the women from this community, where their needs are the priority. The programs we offer are designed to respond to the needs and challenges of Afghan women living in New York, and to protect their rights. We conduct our work in the context of the Afghan community, respecting Afghan traditions and practices, and celebrating Afghan culture. All our programs have a core message and purpose: securing, protecting and advancing women's human rights.
