JOIN AFGHAN WOMEN AND GIRLS FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHTS
On 15 August 2021, Taliban forces seized power in Afghanistan. They made a litany of false promises to protect the human rights of women and girls. They did it to look respectable in the eyes of governments around the world. They lied.
In the span of two years, women and girls have been erased from public life: they cannot work, study, or even go to the park. Those who resist are met with extreme violence.
We must continue to expose the Taliban’s actions for what they are: a crime against humanity. By donating to Amnesty International UK today, you can help us to uncover the truth.
The breadth and speed with which the Taliban have violated the human rights of people in Afghanistan, especially women and girls – is shocking. Women and girls face restrictions in all areas of life, from what clothes they wear to being confined at home most of the day.
We must take action. Your donation could help us continuing to investigate and collect evidence of the crimes committed by the Taliban and put pressure on states to hold them accountable.
Together, we can make sure that the Taliban’s lies and flagrant violations of human rights are exposed.
