Women’s Rights First (WRF) is an Afghan women-led organization dedicated to advancing the protection, documentation, and promotion of women’s rights in Afghanistan through survivor-centered advocacy, accountability initiatives, and capacity building. Founded and led by Afghan women with backgrounds in international law, human rights, and governance, WRF works closely with women and girls inside Afghanistan to document violations, amplify lived experiences, and strengthen pathways to justice under international human rights and humanitarian law frameworks.

Since the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, Afghan women and girls have faced systematic restrictions on education, employment, freedom of movement, political participation, and access to public life. In response, WRF has focused on supporting women not only as survivors of these abuses, but also as active agents of change. The organization provides training, mentorship, and fellowship programs that equip Afghan women with knowledge of international accountability mechanisms, human rights documentation, advocacy strategies, and digital resilience.

WRF also integrates digital transformation and economic empowerment into its programming to address the growing isolation and economic exclusion of women and girls. Through online fellowships and digital skills initiatives, participants gain practical skills in digital communication, research, online entrepreneurship, content creation, and remote income generation while also strengthening their digital safety and access to global networks. By combining accountability work with long-term capacity building, WRF seeks to ensure that Afghan women remain visible, connected, and meaningfully engaged in shaping the future of Afghanistan despite ongoing systemic repression.
