The United Nations have declared October 11th as the International Day of Girl Child. This year, the UN’s theme is Girls’ Vision for the Future. And our vision is to invest in girls’ leadership for her future.

Therefore, Women Leaders of Tomorrow has launched the campaign ‘I am leading’ to raise awareness about Afghan girls’ rights to and education & sports in the current situation in Afghanistan. Because WLOT believes that the girls in Afghanistan should have opportunities to lead her community.

This is a campaign across Canada, and there will be a leader in different provinces to lead the discussion in-person in your city. For further information, please refer to the poster below!

This year, on the 16 Days of Activism to End Gender Based violence from November 16th to December 10th, the grade 8th students from St. Margaret School also held a rally to end the gender based violence in Afghanistan. The rally which is #WalkWithAfghanwomen is to raise awareness that all girls’ schools are shutdown by the Taliban above 3rd grade in Afghanistan. The students made signs saying #LetHerLearn #EducationIsMyRight #StandwithwomeninAfghanistan.

Women Leaders of Tomorrow is grateful to the grade 8th students for their sympathetic advocacy, and standing in solidarity with young girls in Afghanistan.

The Taliban banned her sports facilities, including her gym, and banned sports for her and her members of the national team, but Roya Shafai didn’t give up. She fought for her right to play sports. She stood up for her rights against the Taliban, and Women Leaders of Tomorrow stood with her. WLOT’s GOAL – Girls of Afghanistan Lead supports Afghan female athletes. GOAL has been standing with women & girls before the collapse of the Republican government, and specially after the collapse. Because we believe in the principles of Human Rights, women’s rights and women’s dignity.

WLOT’s Mixed Martial Arts and Judo athlete won a scholarship to a Canadian college, and she has safely arrived in Canada today. Dear champion, Canada is lucky to have you. Welcome to Canada! رهبری دختران افغانستان – ردا!
