Right to Learn Afghanistan (formerly Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan) is a registered charity and not-for-profit organization that exists to make the right to education a reality for Afghan women and girls. For 26 years, Right to Learn Afghanistan has been working to uphold the fundamental human right to a quality education by providing purposeful educational programs and access to opportunities that foster agency, dignity, and choice. Right to Learn Afghanistan is in official partnership with UNESCO (consultative status) and holds Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council.

As of August 2021, Afghanistan became the only country in the world to ban women and girls from receiving an education. Working in partnership with Afghan women, Right to Learn Afghanistan has adapted programs to offer free virtual courses to connect thousands of Afghan women and girls with quality education. Our programs transform lives, promote gender equality, and uphold the right to learn.
