RAWA is the oldest political/social organization of Afghan women struggling for peace, freedom, democracy and women's rights in fundamentalism-blighted Afghanistan since 1977.
They're cool - as is the RAWA Solidarity Scotland group that has been raising funds and awareness - they're doing a sponsored bike ride:
You are invited on a fun cycle ride from Edinburgh to North Berwick on Saturday the 20th March.
The women involved with RAWA are a brave lot. Working for womens rights in
Afghanistan is dangerous work. The suggestions in the media are that the occupying
forces are now trying to tempt the Taliban into a coalition government. That is
very bad news for Afghani women and children. Just ask RAWA.
The sponsor cycle will start from the Forest Cafe. We will assemble at 10:30am
where the Edinburgh RAWA solidarity group will provide refreshments (and flags!) before our
send-off. And remember you can get the train back . . . of course after you've
indulged in some ice cream etc.
Please send an e-mail to the list if you're interested in cycling or sponsoring so we can fill you in on the details.

Hope to see you there!
