In this episode, guest speaker Kevin Schumacher from the organization Women for Afghan Women sits down to discuss the organization's mission to protect women in Afghanistan from violations of human rights. A pioneer and leader in the fight for women's rights, Women for Afghan Women paves the way to equality through providing safe spaces for women, legal representation to uphold laws, and education to break down the patriarchial dogmatism in communities. From domestic violence to child marriage, this nonprofit organization challenges and addresses the issues faced by women and children in the country. In this eye-opening Q+A, we take human rights head on, and address what it takes for an organization to become successful in addressing and undoing generations of inequality between men and women, while promoting the dignity, potential, and autonomy of Afghan women.
