What they do
Free Women Writers is A Non-partisan, and All-volunteer 501(c)(3) Organization Composed of Writers, Students, and Activists Based In Afghanistan and The Diaspora and Working for A More Equal and Just Afghanistan. Free Women Writers Works to Improve The Lives of Afghan Women Through Advocacy, Storytelling, and Education.

We Reach More Than 100 Thousand People Online and Thousands More Offline and Have Published The Work of More Than 140 Writers In Afghanistan and Around The World. In 2016, We Launched The Daughters of Rabia Scholarship to Support A New Afghan Womans Higher Education Every Year. In 2021, We Supported 208 Women Writers, Activists, Journalists, and Academics Who Were Fleeing or Hiding From The Taliban So Their Basic Needs, Such As Food and Shelter, Were Met.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.
