RAWADARI – Peoples Tribunal for Women of Afghanistan

Rawadari is an Afghan human rights organisation that aims to deepen and grow the human rights culture of Afghanistan, ultimately reducing the suffering of all Afghans, especially women and girls.

Rawadari helps build an Afghan human rights movement, monitors human rights violations, and pursues justice and accountability for violations. Rawadari works with individuals and collectives inside and outside Afghanistan.

Rawadari’s work aims to expand the human rights community of Afghanistan with new constituencies and allies inside and outside the country. Rawadari uses a range of new and traditional mediums for outreach including visual material and social media campaigns. We conduct regular private consultations with actors in the civic space to better understand the landscape and mobilize for collaborative action for human rights of all Afghans.

Rawadari provides reliable and timely information on human rights violations in Afghanistan with a focus of violations of the rights of women and girls and marginalized groups.

Rawadari monitors and document human rights situation in Afghanistan through a network of data providers on the ground. We publish 4 human rights reports annually, in Dari, Pashto and English to increase awareness about the human rights situation, battle misinformation and inform policy and collective action.

Rawadari aims to employ all viable mechanisms for judicial and non-judicial accountability to combat the entrenched culture of impunity for violations committed in Afghanistan. Rawadari is providing support and information to the international investigation and monitoring mechanisms. We are advocating for expanding avenues to accountability for Afghans through utilizing the existing mechanisms such as the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice as well as creating new accountability mechanisms through the UN.

Additionally, Rawadari utilizes victim-centred, non-judicial mechanisms to bring the voices of victims to the fore and enable broader recognition of the shared pain of Afghans.
