The 14th annual

Red Pashmina Walk

Direct donations can be made at this link


In support of women & girls’ right to learn in Afghanistan, the Red Pashmina Walk returns!

Come out and enjoy an afternoon of community while supporting Afghan women and girls! Wear your Red Pashmina!

Once again, the event is hosted by the Peterborough chapter of Canadian Women For Women in Afghanistan (CW4WA) alongside Red Pashmina Inc., with proceeds being presented to CW4WA for the education of Afghan women and their families. Money raised will go to support online education materials and courses as well as humanitarian baskets for starving families which include food, hygiene products and learning materials.

Red Pashminas, needlework, jewellery and books will be for sale.

Walk with us, or sponsor a friend!

For further information and pledge sheets, contact Daphne at 705-656-3820 or email peterborough@CW4WAfghan.ca.


 With the return of the Taliban regime, the education of women and girls continues to be relevant in Afghanistan, now more than ever. 

Canadian Women For Women in Afghanistan continues to champion education as a means to peace, and remains dedicated to its mission of encouraging Canadians to take action, in partnership with Afghan women, toward improving conditions of human rights, ending women's oppression, and providing opportunities for Afghan women to live their lives with dignity, certainty and purpose.
