What is civil society?

Civil society refers to the space which lies between the state and private sectors and represent un-coerced collective action around common interests, purposes and values. Civil society comprises a diversity of spaces, actors and institutions varying in their degree of formality, autonomy and power. Civil society is valued for its civilian nature and its role in strengthening peace and stability.

 

ACSF believes in democratic principles, people's participation and is committed to:
  • Empowering the Afghan population
  • Embracing the diversity of civil society actors
  • Striving for inclusiveness in processes and actions
  • Emphasizing non-partisanship, transparency and accountability
  • Promoting a sense of voluntarism and social activism

Partaw Naderi

On a Colorful Morning
 

I kissed her —

her whole body shivered

Like a branch of almond blossom in the wind

Like the moon, like a star

trembling on the water

I kissed her —

her whole body shivered

Her cheeks showed one colour

her gaze revealed another

And the sun rose from her tender heart

And the thousand-and-one nights of waiting

ended

And on a colourful morning

I shared a bed

with the meaning of love

Peshawar, Pakistan
