About Our Auction
The Taliban’s seizure of power in Afghanistan has caused a humanitarian crisis which requires urgent global response. Amongst the most disproportionately affected are Afghan women and girls, whose freedoms and safety are greatly jeopardized by the Taliban’s rule.
In response, a small but mighty group of Vancouver-based women came together to find ways to amplify the work of Afghan women. Our guiding values have been that women are NOT victims, rather we must let them know, despite the crumbling situation, there is a global siblinghood working to support them and acknowledge their ongoing resilience and bravery.
The beneficiary of funds raised from Voices for Hope is Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan (CW4WAfghan), a charitable organization with a longstanding history of promoting the human rights of Afghan women and girls through access to education, distribution of basic necessities to internally displaced people, and assistance with efforts to provide safe passage for refugees. They continue to do this work. A portion will also be donated to the YWCA of Metro Vancouver who deliver the YWCA Afghan Women's Employment (AWE) program that supports women in exploring and securing careers or further education in Canada.
