dbo:abstract The Afghan Women's Council (AWC) (also known as the Women's Council) was a women's organization. In Afghanistan. It was a non-profit organization that strived to help Afghan women and children by improving their living condition as well as raising the awareness of human rights. In 1990, the Democratic Women's Organisation of Afghanistan was abolished because it was considered too Marxist in a period when President Najibullah wished to appease the Islamic resistance. It was replaced with the Afghan Women's Council, which was a more apolitical women's organisation. Until 1989, the leader of the organization was Masuma Esmati-Wardak, Wardak was not a member of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) and in 1991 she became Minister of Education. The organization was run by Wardak and a staff of eight women. Some of these staff members were also members of the PDPA. When the communist regime began in 1978, under Nur Muhammad Taraki, the government gave equal rights to women. Women now had the ability to make decisions about their own lives. The membership of the AWC was around 150,000 around the country and had branches and bases in all Afghan provinces with the exception of Wardak and Katawaz. Most of the women in Kabul resisted the Mujahideen because of their retrogressive laws concerning women. The AWC provided social services to women in Afghanistan, in the fight against illiteracy and vocational training for those in the Secretary, hairdressing and workshop fields. Many feared the sacrificing of the AWC in the national reconciliation talks which started in 1987. One of the most important AWC programmes was the fight for the literacy and education of girls. According to an AWC survey, in 1991, an estimated 7 thousand women were in institutions of higher education and around 230,000 girls studying in schools around Afghanistan. According to the survey there existed about 190 female professors and 22,000 female teachers in the country. (en) El Consejo de Mujeres Afganas (también conocido como "Consejo de Mujeres") fue una organización Afgana bajo la República Democrática de Afganistán (1978–87) y la República Democrática de Afganistán entre (1987-1992). Era una organización sin fines de lucro que se esforzó por ayudar a las mujeres y niños afganos mejorando sus condiciones de vida y creando conciencia sobre los derechos humanos. Hasta 1989, la líder de la organización era Masuma Esmati Wardak, quien no era miembro del Partido Democrático Popular de Afganistán y en 1991 se convirtió en Ministra de Educación.​ La organización fue dirigida por Wardak y un equipo de ocho mujeres. Algunas de sus miembros del personal también eran miembros del Partido Democrático Popular de Afganistán. Cuando el régimen comunista en 1978 bajo el gobierno de Nur Muhammad Taraki se les otorgó los mismos derechos a las mujeres que a los hombres. Las mujeres ahora tenían la capacidad de elegir sus maridos, y tener una educación formal, y se les dio el derecho de tomar decisiones sobre sus propias vidas.​ La membresía del AWC era de alrededor de 150,000 en todo el país y tenía sucursales y bases en todas las Provincias_de_Afganistán con la excepción de Vardak y Paktīkā. La mayoría de las mujeres en Kabul se resistieron a los Mujahideen debido a sus leyes regresivas sobre las mujeres.​ El Consejo de Mujeres Afganas brindó trabajo social a las mujeres en Afganistán, en la lucha contra el analfabetismo y apoyó la formación profesional para las personas en entre otras: secretaría, peluquería y en talleres. Muchos temieron la plataforma reivindicativa del Consejo de Mujeres en las conversaciones que comenzaron en 1987.​ Se afirma que en 1991 alrededor de siete mil mujeres estaban en instituciones de educación superior y unas 230.000 niñas estudiaban en escuelas de todo Afganistán. Había alrededor de 190 mujeres profesoras y 22.000 maestras.​ (es) Afghan Women's Council (AWC) var en organisation för kvinnors rättigheter i Afghanistan, grundad 1978. AWC ersatte sin föregångare, Democratic Women's Organisation of Afghanistan, som hade kommit att anses som för politiskt färgad vid en tidpunkt när president Najibullah ville dämpa den kommunistiska ideologin för att mildra sin relation till den islamistiska motståndsrörelsen, och AWC kom att fungera som en mer apolitisk kvinnoförening. AWC leddes fram till 1989 av Masuma Esmati-Wardak, och upprättade lokalkontor i nästan varenda en av landets provinser. Organisationen propagerade för mänskliga rättigheter och kvinnors rättigheter, och var verksam med hjälparbete riktad till kvinnor och barn. AWC informerade kvinnor om deras rättigheter, gav flickor skolundervisning och kvinnor yrkesklasser och spelade en stor roll som arbetsförmedling som försåg kvinnor med arbete. När Sovjetunionen började dra sig ur mellan 1987 och 1989 och regeringen inledde fredsförhandlingar med den islamistiska gerillan, fanns en stor rädsla för att AWC, liksom de rättigheter för kvinnor som kommunistregimen hade gett dem och AWC kommit att symbolisera, skulle offras.
