Through APT’s Mentorship Program, participants learn to look beyond scholarships and consider important factors such as university fit, budget, language, future opportunities, and personal growth. We are proud to support Afghan students in making informed decisions and taking meaningful steps toward their higher education goals.

On International Day of the Girl Child, let us remember the millions of Afghan girls denied their right to education. Despite closed classrooms and lost opportunities, Afghan girls continue to dream of a better future. Education is a fundamental human right, not a privilege. Let us not allow the world to forget Afghan girls, their voices, their dreams, and their futures. #InternationalDayOfTheGirl #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #EducationForAll

Since Aug 2021, Afghan women, girls barred from education past grade six, formal jobs and leadership. Women’s groups face stricter limits, and humanitarian aid cuts have worsened them. Read @UN_Women report. buff.ly/j9FCsD2 📷 UNICEF/Shehzad Noorani

UNAMA confirms the arrest of at least 52 women in Herat and Kabul. The international engagement continue to be unprincipled and now normalized. What else Afghan women must face so that their persecution is taken seriously?

Peace is not only the absence of war. It is also dignity, freedom, rights, and opportunity. In Afghanistan, young people, particularly women and girls, continue to face barriers to education, employment, and participation in public life. #InternationalDayOfPeace
Afghans for Progressive Thinking (APT)@APTYouthSep 21
On this #InternationalDayOfPeace, we stand with Afghans who continue to hope for a future of dignity, freedom, and peace. In Afghanistan, millions still face humanitarian hardship, while women and girls remain excluded from education, employment, and much of public life.
