The Women’s Rights Network Afghanistan group works to connect silenced women with volunteers in the UK to give them a voice - through mentoring, education and friendship. Since the Taliban retook control, women and girls have been forced to live under the most oppressive edicts.

This summer a symbolic mass action in honour of them was held in Parliament Square, led by international yachtswoman and WRN member Tracy Edwards, whose charity Maiden raises funds for girls' educational programmes around the world. Plus, it gave a voice to some of the women known to WRN in Afghanistan.
