Women for Afghan Women, also known as WAW, is a non-government women's human rights organization, founded in April 2001, which is dedicated to protecting the rights of Afghan women and girls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.womenforafghanwomen.org/ )〕 WAW is based in New York City as well as Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan. The purpose of the organization is to aid in alleviating the problem of gender-based violence and bring about a change in attitude about the problem. They provide front-line services to women in crisis in eight provinces in Afghanistan. The staff are mostly Afghans and WAW adopts a community-based approach. For example, they conduct educational workshops about women’s rights according to Islamic law. == Raising awareness == The centre teaches men and women about respecting women’s rights which are in tandem with basic human rights. WAW have in place an outreach and awareness program whereby people of Afghanistan can attend, to learn more about the less harsh version of Islam than what they have been previously taught by ultraconservative individuals who may have malicious intents or by men who are chauvinists by nature. WAW sends staff out to reach out to the elusive women who are in abusive relationships and are afraid to seek help. WAW also reaches out to the community by visiting schools and police stations, with the hope to encourage Afghans to attend the awareness centre. To date, the centre has successfully educated thousands of Afghans including imams (religious leaders) and law enforcement officials with regards to women’s right in the context of Islamic law. Their biggest mission is to offer security and liberty for the women in Afghan. Another goal for them is to encourage them to inflate their self-esteem, and also to participate in all area of life: social, economic, and politics. "Our work is strengthened by our commitment to diversity. Their board and staff consists men and women and a diverse representation of age, religion, ethnicity and sexual orientation".〔Women for afghan women, "Our Mission and Vision", women for afghan women, 2012, March 18, 2013. http://www.womenforafghanwomen.org/index.php/home/mission-a-vision〕
