Impact program Learning with Hawa
In the slipstream of the documentary Writing Hawa by Najiba Noori and Ali Rasul Noori we hereby present our worldwide impact strategy. We unite the female Afghan diaspora to take action for the women in their motherland.
Afghanistan is the only country in the world where, by law, women and girls have to cover their entire bodies and faces, can’t use their voices in public, are not allowed to interact with non-Muslims, use public transport or to look at man that are not related by blood or marriage. And they can’t go to school.1
Many Afghan women worldwide want to help. But they also feel powerless. After the screening of Writing Hawa, we will firstly facilitate conversations about the psychological aspects of refugee life. Dialogues they often haven’t had, especially not together. The start of the healing process.
Many women of Afghan descent want to do something, but feel powerless. To achieve this, we work together with various organizations that can offer something concrete to the women and girls in Afghanistan. These initiatives give diaspora women the opportunity to make a concrete contribution, to break through their powerlessness.
In addition, we train Afghan women outside Afghanistan to facilitate intimate conversations after the film. This way, they can ensure that the film is shown and pass on their skills to other Afghan women in their country. This ensures that the film continues to travel for months - or even years - even after our own screenings. And so that the conversation about the mental side of fleeing can be opened up for years to come.
