WHAT WE DO?

We amplify the voices of Afghan women and girls through storytelling, leadership training, and global engagement. Our initiatives empower them to speak out, share their experiences, and inspire meaningful change toward justice and equal opportunity.

We empower Afghan girls to reclaim their voices through writing, storytelling, and the arts. Our programs provide platforms for creative expression as a powerful form of resistance and healing, helping them share their lived experiences with the world.

Through skill-based workshops focused on leadership, personal development, communication, and decision-making, we equip Afghan girls with the confidence and tools to lead their communities with strength and purpose.

Our graduates and members can access EmpowerHer's resources and engage with our vibrant community. We support them in creating impactful initiatives both within and outside Afghanistan through virtual and in-person programs.

Projects

Our projects are designed to meet Afghan girls where they are—and help them grow into who they’re meant to be. Each initiative provides a safe, inclusive space where participants gain the tools, guidance, and community they need to rise. From leadership workshops to storytelling programs, every project builds confidence, sharpens skills, and encourages bold self-expression. Together, we’re creating spaces where Afghan girls can learn, lead, and shape their own futures.
