Answer: Girls and women are at continued serious risk of losing their basic human rights and freedom since the Taliban established a new government in Afghanistan in 2021.
Here are three simple but powerful things you can do to support girls and women in Afghanistan:
- be an advocate for refugees in your community.
- Write to your local government representative about your concerns for the rights of Afghan girls and women.
- Donate to organizations who are supporting girls and women during this crisis.
- spread awareness
Step-by-step explanation:
- be an advocate for refugees in your community: Thousands across the country are at serious risk of reprisals from the Taliban for speaking and acting freely as citizens over the past 20 years. This includes women human rights defenders, academics, journalists and those who have aided the US and allies in peace-building efforts. There are very few opportunities to escape Afghanistan or seek asylum. Help others to understand this and why emergency measures must be taken.
- Write to your local government representative about your concerns for the rights of Afghan girls and women: Ask your government to be inclusive and welcoming to those fleeing the country. This may include expanding the list of refugees eligible for resettlement in your country. It could also involve removing the barriers that refugees face in securing visas, flights, and financial support.
- Donate to organizations who are supporting girls and women during this crisis: Funds are urgently needed to protect Afghan people and ensure their safety.
