We are extremely saddened and concerned by the unfolding situation in Afghanistan. Together with the Afghan community on the Greek islands, we have been closely following the latest developments day-by-day.
A humane and holistic solution feels out of reach at this moment. Desperate images of the citizens of Afghanistan continue to emerge. The violence across the country continues to grow. Thousands across the globe worry for their families, friends and fellow Afghans who are now forced to hide or flee their homes.
We believe, at this moment, as an organisation who has worked extensively with displaced Afghan communities over the years, is to stand in solidarity and advocate. For the rights of Afghans. For their talents. Their skills. Their hopes. Their dreams.
Over the coming weeks, we will continue to amplify the voices of Afghans. We will use our communication channels as a platform for those who need it most right now. To show the world the strength and determination of the Afghan people.
Join the Movement by sharing an inspiring story, image, selfie, art or poem showing the world the beauty of the Afghan community. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #WithAfghansWeStand.
You can also keep an eye on our socials for other actions you can take or Movements you can join to show your solidarity with Afghans during these trying times.
We also appreciate any support you can give to help us help the Afghan communities living in camps on the Greek islands.
