During UN Peacebuilding Week, Mina’s List and Peace Through Business convened Afghan women from inside Afghanistan and across the diaspora for Pathways to Peace—a dialogue on peacebuilding and social cohesion. One message stood out: sustainable peace depends on women’s leadership, inclusion, and opportunity. #Peacebuilding #AfghanWomen #WomenLead
The first panel featured women leaders with 35+ years of experience advancing education, governance, and protection. They shared lessons on breaking barriers, creating opportunities, and preparing the next generation of women leaders to build a more peaceful future. #WomenLeaders #Peacebuilding
The second panel highlighted the resilience of women entrepreneurs, the impact of economic empowerment, and the essential role of local peacebuilders in strengthening resilient, peaceful communities. Economic opportunity and community leadership are vital to lasting peace. #EconomicEmpowerment #CommunityResilience #Peacebuilding
Last week at #CSW70, Mina’s List was honored to co-host a timely discussion on pathways to justice with @WPHFund, @UN_Women, @UNDP, @UNHumanRights, and the Permanent Mission of Norway.
Women Human Rights Defenders continue to advance justice, even under pressure. 🧵
Featuring WHRDs from Afghanistan, Sudan, and Kenya, the conversation underscored a key truth:
Justice is not a single outcome, it is a journey. One that begins with acknowledging injustice and continues through collective action to defend fundamental rights.
As Mina’s List Executive Director @PalwashaHasan shared:
“Peace and justice do not live only in the halls of the United Nations; they must be nurtured in our communities and rooted in our values: Adalah, justice, and the unity and dignity of humanity.”
We are grateful to our partners and all who joined us.

Powerful words today at #CSW70 during our discussion on Women Human Rights Defenders paving pathways to justice.

“Member States have not been standing up for the UN Charter in the face of human rights violations. This makes the work of WHRDs more important than ever. Civil society is THE mechanism for accountability.”
— @KaavyaAsoka of @ngowgwps at #CSW70
On #InternationalWomensDay, we begin a new chapter.
We’re proud to announce that @PalwashaHasan will serve as Executive Director of Mina's List— bringing decades of leadership in the Afghan women’s rights movement.
In a moment of global rollback, we choose resolve.

🚨Yesterday, on #HumanRightsDay, we reaffirmed our commitment to Afghan women human rights defenders and urged the U.S. government to reverse policies that jeopardize their safety. 📢Read our statement: bit.ly/4rRX6P0
As we mark the 16 Days of Activism, Mina’s List stands firmly for the protection of women and girls worldwide. Politically driven policies that endanger refugee women and children undermine their safety and fundamental rights. We are particularly concerned about the situation of Afghan refugees in Pakistan and urge the authorities to uphold human rights and protection obligations above politics.

Last week, ML Founder & President Tanya Henderson spoke at Texas A&M’s Symposium on Women, Peace & Security about the future of WPS through the lens of Afghan women. She reminded us: “Peace that denies the rights and security of half the population is not peace at all.” #WPS
