Join us for Five Years, Five Voices, Five Futures, an in-person event reflecting on five years since the political change in Afghanistan and its impact on Afghan youth, women, refugees, and diaspora communities.

Through interactive discussion, networking, and collaborative planning, the event will bring together youth newcomers, refugees, and community members in Canada to reflect on the ongoing ban on education, the response of the international community, and the path forward.

Together, we will explore how to strengthen accountability, amplify the voices of Afghan women and girls, and support greater access to education and opportunities.
