A year after the West’s withdrawal, Afghanistan is back in the dark ages

long distances, from working many kinds of jobs, or to leave their homes without being accompanied by a male family member.told the UN Human Rights Council

If the country remains under Taliban rule, Afghanistan’s future is bleak. Women, children and LGBTQ individuals will suffer, as will Sikhs, Shia Muslims and other religious minorities. The country’s economy collapsed over the past year, and the UN Refugee Agencythat 24 million people in Afghanistan require “vital humanitarian relief.” The situation in Afghanistan could become even more catastrophic, and yet it has seemingly fallen off the world’s radar.

However, it’s not only non-Afghans who’ve forgotten about Afghanistan. Our own people have also turned away. Where are the rallies, protests and fundraisers for the women of Afghanistan? Where’s the outrage? Even my family in Afghanistan tells me that many of their relatives and friends in the West no longer call them. “They’re afraid we’ll ask them for money. We’re a burden not just to political leaders, but to our own families,” they tell me.

Build. Back. Better. Elections have consequences.
