Webinar: Human Rights Defenders Working under Tyranny in Afghanistan today

Please register HERE.

The Taliban's 2021 takeover of Afghanistan was a catastrophe for the Afghan human rights movement. Human rights defenders were forced into exile, fearing for their lives. Those who remain, cannot work openly without great risk. Many continue their efforts from exile, but the country’s new rulers seem impervious to reform. Despite this, a new wave of women’s rights defenders has emerged in spontaneous protests, while other Afghans have found clandestine and creative ways to work in the interstices.

Join Rachel Reid for a discussion of her recent report on the Afghan human rights movement, Manoeuvring Through the Cracks.
