UPDATE: The Australian government's evacuation mission has finished - but thousands of people still in Afghanistan are in dire need of assistance. We can't abandon them when they need our help now the most.
Fears of life under Taliban rule are slowly becoming reality with reports of door-to-door searches for human rights defenders and journalists.
People in Afghanistan urgently need your help. Please make a lifesaving donation today.
People are fleeing for their lives
Right now in Afghanistan, thousands of human rights defenders, journalists and academics are facing unspeakable horrors at the hands of the Taliban.
Amnesty International’s Global Relief Fund provides life-saving interventions to human rights defenders in danger.
We have already been approached by many at risk, in particular women and girls, who are fearing Taliban rule.
This work has never been more urgent or crucial than now.
Please donate today
Women seeking safety, girls seeking an education. People from ethnic and religious minorities. Human rights defenders, and so many more. Please give to ensure those in danger have access to much-needed emergency support like:
- Daily living expenses
- Protection from arbitrary detention
- Safehouses
- and security measures.
500,000 people are already displaced within the country - and fears are that this number will quickly grow in the coming weeks. These courageous people need our urgent support.
The situation is deteriorating so rapidly and dramatically that we must act now. None of this work is possible without your support. Please donate today to help those who are at imminent risk of reprisals.
Through the Global Emergency Fund, you can save lives
Amnesty International’s Global Emergency Fund is held in reserve to provide life-saving relief to those whose human rights are in danger.
To keep going, we need your support. Regular donations from kind, caring people like you can provide ongoing, reliable funds that we depend on to investigate human rights abuses, expose the truth, and mobilise people to take action.
All donations of $2 and over are tax-deductible in Australia.
