The Memory Box Initiative: Seeking to Break the Cycle of Violence and Tragedy in Afghanistan

THE AFGHANISTAN HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY ORGANIZATION

Developed by Coalition member, Afghanistan Human Rights and Democracy Organization (AHRDO), the Memory Box initiative provides a space for the victims of Afghanistan to tell their stories of loss and resilience in the face of the country’s violent history of mass murder, genocide, palace revolutions and unrelenting political upheaval. Victims explore their personal and collective histories through a 3-5 day reflective process that results in the creation of physical spaces of remembrance entirely produced by the victims themselves.
