Afghan Women's Writing Project

They Can't Read but They Will Vote on April 5

Despite suicide bombings and constant oppressions, Afghan women are boldly preparing for the April 5 presidential elections, including those who never had an education. To give voice to these illiterate women, writers from the Afghan Women’s Writing Project (AWWP) interviewed several of them, translated their words into English, and are using their own writing platform at awwproject.org to share these opinions on the upcoming elections.
