In January 2012 the Afghanistan Human Rights and Democracy Organization (AHRDO) is marking its third anniversary. Three years of wonderfully intense community-based theatre activities. Three years of very strong emotions of all sorts.Three years of bottom-up dialogue and a search for grassroots strategies for change led by the most excluded and disempowered sectors of Afghan society.

In order to celebrate our three years anniversary with our international audience, we have decided to launch a bi-monthly newsletter in the English language.
The idea is to keep you informed about our activities, tell you a little bit more about the lives of our staff members and, hopefully, provide a space for you to engage with the people of Afghanistan in a novel and intimate manner in order to deconstruct the often overly stereotypical view of the Afghan people in the international media. Having said that, the ideas and positions put forward in our newsletter do by no means claim to speak on behalf of the people of Afghanistan.

Until this website is fully upgraded and this newsletter is uploaded onto it, you can receive this newsletter, by writing to
