For over forty years, war and conflict have inflicted deep wounds on the Afghan people. Internal strife has created countless victims across all segments of society, fuelling new conflicts, eroding trust, and deepening divides. Every Afghan family has suffered loss—of loved ones, homes, and hope. Generations have been forced to flee, whether within Afghanistan, to neighbouring countries, or to distant lands. Today, millions of individuals with Afghan roots are longing for positive change in their homeland.
The Taliban’s return to power has reopened old wounds and instilled fresh fears. Women and girls, in particular, have seen their opportunities for education and meaningful participation in society stripped away, facing systematic discrimination. The heart-wrenching situation in Afghanistan resonates deeply with anyone who cares about its people.
We are honoured to welcome Nadima Kakai, an influential social entrepreneur and advocate for women in Afghanistan. Nadima creates safe spaces for women to come together, share their fears and joys, and cultivate hope and resilience.
As part of Afghanistan Week 2024, Nadima will facilitate a women’s circle in Oslo on October 31st. We invite everyone who holds a special place for Afghanistan in their hearts—whether you are part of the diaspora or simply care deeply about the country—to join us. Let’s come together to share our stories, support one another, and foster a sense of community in these challenging times.
This seminar will be in English, but there is room for sharing in other languages.
With: Nadima Kakai (Tesha de Waday)
