A coalition of 400 local organizations initiated a six-year long (2004 –2011) campaign called “ We Can End All Violence Against Women” or more popularly known as the “We Can”  in Afghanistan. Nine alliance members from four provinces (Mazar, Parwan, Heraat and Jalalabad) held provincial launches during the 16 days of activism in 2006 and subsequently launched the campaign nationally on 18 July 2007 through a huge public event.
