Join Afghan Women and Girls demanding an education
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.
As hard won rights – to equality, education and freedom – began to be dismantled, women fought back. They were met with violence. But knowledge is power, and by donating to Amnesty International UK today, you can help us to expose the truth.
The speed with which the Taliban have dismantled the human rights of their population – especially for women and girls – is shocking. Now, with so many women restricted from key professions, a nationwide shortage of staff poses another crisis – one of access to healthcare, along with other key services.
We must take action. Your donation could help fund the investigations needed to expose the Taliban’s lies – and gather evidence that continues to reveal these glaring injustices to the world.
Together, we can make sure that the Taliban’s flagrant violation of human rights is recognised – and their lies exposed.
