I think the ones who can communicate with the outside world are mostly already outside.
As far as I know, IAW has no members in or from Afghanistan. I will forward your offer to Marion of the Human Rights Commission, who is the one who is in contact with them.

Do we have an Afghan member? I’d pay her membership if necessary.

Can they at all communicate with the outside world?
Lyda.

]]> Comment on My Voice, My Choice by Sanja Jeraj https://womenalliance.org/my-voice-my-choice/#comment-4683 Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:28:22 +0000 https://womenalliance.org/?p=19620#comment-4683 Wonderful news!
My Voice, My Choice has just been awarded the 2026 Vigdís Prize for Women’s Empowerment by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) and the Government of Iceland. This prestigious €60,000 annual prize honours outstanding initiatives promoting the empowerment of women in all their diversity.
The movement was recognised for gathering over 1.1 million signatures for the European Citizens’ Initiative on access to safe abortion, which led to a landmark European Parliament resolution and a commitment from the European Commission to use EU funds for abortion services.
Named after Vigdís Finnbogadóttir — the first woman ever elected as a head of state — this prize is a powerful recognition of the impact this grassroots movement has had across Europe. Congratulations to all the organisations and supporters who made this possible!

IAW Head of Delegation to the Council of Europe
