Advocacy

Change Makers of the World advocates for meaningful youth inclusion in decision-making and for Afghan girls' access to secondary school and university education.

Inside Afghanistan, the focus is on supporting safe civic participation and creating spaces, mainly through digital platforms, where young people and girls can share their views, raise concerns, and speak about issues affecting their futures.

Internationally, CMW works to keep Afghanistan from being forgotten, raise awareness of current challenges, and continue support for Afghan girls' right to education and broader opportunities.

CMW organizes online meetings, discussions, campaigns, and events that bring together youth, students, educators, and community members to discuss key issues related to Afghanistan and education.

CMW was among the founding organizations that helped establish the National Youth Consensus for Peace in 2021, a network of 244 organizations from all 34 provinces of Afghanistan that supported meaningful youth participation in the peace process.

The organization also contributed to the creation of the Afghan Youth Coalition (AYC), a platform focused on documenting the situation of Afghan youth and presenting their priorities through research, consultations, and targeted advocacy.

International advocacy efforts are carried out through cooperation with partner organizations, public forums, and youth networks in Europe, North America, and other regions.
