Women and girls with disabilities in Afghanistan face numerous challenges in accessing basic human rights, including education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. These challenges are compounded by the stigma attached to disability, which often results in social exclusion and discrimination.

The Organization for Women’s Empowerment (OWE) recognizes the unique challenges faced by women and girls with disabilities and has implemented several programs to address these issues. OWE provides vocational training and entrepreneurship programs specifically designed for women and girls with disabilities. These programs aim to provide economic empowerment and enable them to become financially independent.

Additionally, OWE works to increase access to education for women and girls with disabilities. The organization provides scholarships and other financial assistance to enable them to attend school, and also works to make schools and other educational institutions more accessible.

Furthermore, OWE advocates for policy changes and legal reforms that promote the rights of women and girls with disabilities. The organization works with the government and other stakeholders to develop and implement policies that ensure their inclusion in all aspects of society.

OWE’s efforts to empower women and girls with disabilities align with the guidelines of UN-Women, which emphasize the importance of inclusive and gender-responsive policies and programs. By working to create a more inclusive society, OWE is contributing to the overall empowerment of women and girls in Afghanistan.
