At AWOV, we are dedicated to empowering Afghan women by providing essential resources and support to help them thrive in Australia. Our mission is to break down barriers of inequality and foster a strong sense of community among Afghan women. Founded in 2009, we emerged from the need to support Afghan refugees facing unique challenges. Our values of empowerment, community, respect, and support guide our initiatives and programs, ensuring that every woman feels valued and heard.
