Save the Date!
On Weds. October 19, 2011 you can help Afghan women human rights workers who are targeted for harassment, injury and death.  That night make a reservation and eat at the Kabul restaurant, 106 Chestnut Street.  The owner of the Kabul restaurant, Mr. Wali has generously agreed to donate 20% of his proceeds on that day to The Afghan Women’s Survival Fund through Philly Code PINK.
Simply by going out to eat you can contribute to the survival of Afghan women and empower them in their own struggle for justice!
The Afghan Women’s Survival Fund helps women who are threatened with violence and targeted because they dare to speak out for human rights in Afghanistan.  The Fund provides
·         shelter
·         secret local and international transport,
·         cell phones linked to partners in a rescue network
·         emergency medical care
·         clothing and other personal effects for women who are forced to flee without notice
The Fund saves the lives of these women. It emboldens the Afghan movement for human rights providing activists with a safety net.   The Fund also makes it possible for Afghan women human rights workers to continue their work for justice from underground or from exile.
