This concept will give an opportunity to all, particularly women who never in their lives attended formal educational institutions due to social and cultural restrictions. A university established and run by community will revive women’s dream to learn for themselves, engage with others and share experiences, realize their potential and break the dogma that women are the second class citizens in the country by involving in income generation activities. Living university is in fact living a dream all over again.

Afghan women face challenges on many fronts, they don’t often discuss them outside their home or group of close friends. This has been a major concern since ages, even after international community‘s presence in Afghanistan since 2001, the issue has remained intact. This concept will give voice to women, enable them to speak up for their rights, seek advice from influential women in the country and face the challenges themselves. Worth investing in the idea.

This is probably the concept we needed all this time, practical and realistic way to empower women to strive towards their own welfare. The best part is it starts from home, stretches to community and ultimately leads to advocacy at government level.
