#RaiseAPen answers the call of mothers in Afghanistan to safeguard and advance the right to education for their daughters at this critical juncture in their history. What mothers in Afghanistan want is for the international community to be aware that this right is endangered by current political uncertainties.
MMM, as part of its mission, is answering this call through the awareness raising #RaiseAPen campaign.
Objectives:
The campaign supports women and girls’ right to education not only because it is a fundamental human right, but also because without education for ALL, sustainable development and peace is simply not achievable.
And ultimately, standing for girls’ education in Afghanistan is standing for girls’ education everywhere.
