*****************************************
We are fortunate to have Shazia, a representative of RAWA, visiting Brisbane and the opportunity to hear of the current Afghan situation and be inspired by RAWA’s work. Her talk in Brisbane is part of RAWA’s speaking and fundraising tour of Australia.
RAWA, the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (http://www.rawa.org) has been actively supporting the most needy women and girls, for over 30 years and continues its extraordinary work in these difficult times, running literacy classes, schools, orphanages, small business projects and much more, still under threat of death, whilst publicly advocating for women’s human rights. RAWA’s work is vital, courageous and inspirational. It is a lifeline for many.
