Women To The World – WTTW – has just opened a health clinic providing (previously non-existent) gynecological care to women and basic health care for refugee women and children in Kabul, Afghanistan.

The clinic will serve over 100,000 women and children who were displaced under the Taliban regime and forced to flee to Pakistan. Now ‘home’ many have found their homes and properties destroyed and are now living in refugee camps with up to 200,000 people. We are privileged to serve this otherwise unreached people group.

We are a registered non-profit group operating under a 501(c)(3) rating – so each gift you give is tax-exempt.

“You”

You highlights the clear choice on women’s issues between Governor Jon Corzine and Bush Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie. While Corzine has fought for women on the issues that matter- passing paid family leave legislation and supporting insurance coverage for mammograms, autism, and minimum maternity stay- Christie would be wrong when it matters most- supporting policies that would allow insurance companies to drop this critical coverage, opposing paid family leave, and even standing against a woman’s right to choose.
