Background

Equality for Peace and Development Organization (EPDO) is an Afghan non-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 2010 to empower
women and youth at the community and policy level in Afghanistan. EPDO envisions Afghanistan as a peaceful, prosperous, and welfare state where all Afghans enjoy
equal rights without discrimination. Therefore, EPDO aims to increase the capacity of vulnerable groups, especially women and youth, to enable them to represent their
needs in all aspects of development. EPDO focuses on various spectrums of peace, security, livelihood, and development in Afghanistan — ranging from the salient
need for humanitarian assistance, economic empowerment, and continuous development processes, to long-term projects for sustainable peace.
