Afghan Women's Center
The Afghan Women’s Educational Centre (AWEC) is a non-political, non-profit and non-governmental organization established in 1991. Educated Afghan women started this organization in order to provide facilities for Afghan refugees in Islamabad Pakistan.
Their vision is “Establishing an environment where women and children can have their human rights without any violence and discrimination, apply a strengthened civil society based on democracy, justice and gender equality.”
RESPECT is collaborating with AWEC to provide post-secondary education to promising students in Afghanistan. This provides AWEC with access to RESPECTs knowledge and resources in order to enhance their knowledge. Therefore, the students gain an edge when competing for places in educational institutions or jobs. This collaboration is especially aimed at helping improve the living condition of the marginalised group of women and street-working children.
