Thank you Wendy Chamberlain MP for asking these questions about Afghan deportation phase 2 currently underway in Pakistan. #Afghanistan

We worry that those promised safety in the U.K. through resettlement paths will face severe challenges with this new announcement.
The threat of violence, high levels of vulnerability of groups/individuals & the anxiety and stress that accompanies it is very real. #Afghans

Stop & listen to what this young Afghan teacher has been doing, setting up secret schools in Afghanistan. PROUD know Parasto Hakim & thanks to Shelagh Fogarty for covering Afghanistan relentlessly. These girls’ spirits want to learn, want freedom; least we can do is try & help

A new year begins for schools, the scent of fresh books, new bags, sharp pencils, ink filled pens, name labels and proud shining clean faces, ready to meet their friends and learn.
None of them are girls.
Not in Afghanistan. #AfghanGirls #LearningCantWait

We remember the Nawroz celebrations from the past. And we wish you a bright and joyful future that begins today, for we have hope, which flickers on some days, but not today - #NawrozMubarak to all who celebrate, wherever you may be!

Yesterday we held our second AGM. The commitment to Afghanistan and its women & girls is steadfast. Alina told us what being erased feels like, it’s painful.

Thank you, BBC Radio Ulster, for giving Afghan artist Alina a platform to share her story.
Broadcasting from your studio, in #Belfast a #CityofMusic during #IWD2024 week is very significant.

A meeting about #Afghan istan including its #Afghan women and girls, an update on discussions or a brief to all those working non stop on this issue would be very welcome from our government/ Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

Invaluable - this energy, this empathy, this interest and this support. For #Afghanistan remains the challenge of our generation and the relentless work done by our co-chairs and the Afghan network is commendable and inspiring. Thank you for being fantastic!
