More than 50 female Afghan women's rights activists are currently at risk of deportation from Pakistan, where they sought refuge from Taliban persecution. As tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan rise, the Pakistani government has initiated a policy to deport millions of Afghan nationals, including those who escaped threats to their lives. Many activists have already fled due to threats against them, with reports indicating that over 844,000 Afghans have been forcibly sent back. Among the activists is Humaira Alim, who organized protests for women's rights before fleeing, now living in hiding with her young children and fearing for her safety.
"Under a draconian policy, the Pakistan government has pledged to deport millions of Afghan nationals, which has put women activists in grave danger of returning to Taliban rule."
"Humaira Alim, a prominent women's rights activist, faced threats from the Taliban for her activism, highlighting the perilous conditions for Afghan citizens in Pakistan."
