Our Impact & achievements
2020
Girls Toward Leadership was founded in 2020 when the Covid19 started taking all over the world including Afghanistan. Everything for the majority of people especially youngsters stopped; education, work, and going outside. We started our activities online with the mindset of staying at home, being safe, and still getting educated. During the year 2020,
We held online motivational and educational sessions on mental health topics, the importance of gender in ending violence, leadership skills, Covid19 and violence against women, and so on.
We implemented a UN Women project holding in-person and online programs on ending violence against women, the status of women in Islam, debate, and a leadership program.
On the 16 days of activism of the UN for ending violence against women, we organized a campaign accepting photo/video and written messages of young Afghan women and men on ending violence against women and girls.

I learned many things during three days in this camp. I understood that being with talented and motivated people will instantly motivates you. You should never give up because of any tough situation. I got to know how should I surround myself with talented and inspired people and how it can affect me and my future.
Nabila Nabil
After months of being home full of stress and uncertainty for our life and future, this camp was exactly what we girls needed in this tough situation...If I put all the knowledge and new skills we learned and found interest to them aside, the positive feelings of being in touch with other girls same age as your age, talking, laughing and having a happy time for a while was lovely...beyond measure..!
Marila Noori
This was the best experience for us after a long conflict with the state of our society. We talked about a lot of things and learned how to stay strong and fight for ourselves in all aspects of life. We learned and experienced how to live and how to fight for life. Thanks to all those who worked hard and created this opportunity for us, especially the girls !
