Resources for Afghan Women Judges and the WBA & WCIE’s International Leadership Academy Materials
In August 2021, the Taliban swept back into power in Afghanistan. They soon started hunting and persecuting women judges. Judges around the world have mobilized to help these women escape the country and get established in their new homelands.
The WBA has partnered with the Washington Center for International Education to offer regular programming designed to provide valuable information and resources to Afghan women judges.
