Women's Resource Center:
Providing a Community Space for Afghan Women

Afghans for Civil Society’s Women’s Resource Center is a space where women participants hold meetings twice a month. The center provides a library, meeting space, an internet facility and information board for women's activities in Kandahar.

Recently women from the center decided to address issues of violence against women through personal narratives. The women decided to record life stories of their own and of other women to document those narratives. They hope that through offering these stories people will become sensitized to the issue of violence in the community and learn from these histories so that the pain will not continue for another generation.

The individuals at the Resource Center make up thriving young women who show promise for Southern Afghanistan in the future.
