How you can help Afghanistan
Despite promises that there would be “no discrimination against women,” the Taliban is continuing with measures against women and girls in Afghanistan since they took control of the capital in August.A whistleblower has called the UK Foreign Office’s handling of the Afghan evacuation after the Taliban seized Kabul “dysfunctional” and “chaotic,” with thousands of emails with pleas for help going unread.
However, in written evidence to the Foreign Affairs Committee, Marshall claimed that up to 150,000 Afghans who were at risk because of their links to Britain applied to be evacuated, but fewer than 5% received any assistance from the UK government. “It is clear that some of those left behind have since been murdered by the Taliban,” he added.
Back in July, US President Joe Biden had called a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan “highly unlikely” after agreeing to the withdrawal of all US military forces from the country by 31 August 2021. However, by 15 August, the Taliban had reversed 20 years of history in Afghanistan.
, more than 172,000 lives have been lost in the two decades of war against the Taliban in Afghanistan. As such, their return to power is raised political and human rights concerns, particularly for women and girls, across the world, and sparked fears of a refugee crisis. Instead, the UK government announced that it was “prioritising women and girls and vulnerable people first”, who are most at risk of human rights abuses and maltreatment by the Taliban.Malala Yousafzai brilliantly points out what we need to focus on with the Afghanistan crisis
