*** OPEN CALL ***

To ensure that the ethnicities of Afghanistan are not forgotten, whether suffering under the Taliban's oppressive regime or as asylum seekers in countries lacking protection or functioning asylum systems, two organizations from two different continents have joined forces to unite their voices: Generation Outside Afghanistan in Europe and Afghans Empowered from the USA.

We want to document the problems faced by vulnerable groups and the prevailing situation, as well as identify needs requiring solutions and opportunities we can utilize. Participants may state their real names or use an alias, and identifying data will be safeguarded to protect the safety and privacy of our community members.

Anyone wishing to share their story, concerns, or even successes is invited to do so. The aim is to discuss the situations being experienced and together find viable solutions. Regarding any material that will be attached such as photos, we will obscure the faces if requested to do so.

These interviews and stories will be conducted monthly and sent to various authorities, ensuring your voices are not lost and people are not left without assistance.

Please write your texts in the simple language of your choice. We will edit the texts for clarity and to ensure your private data is protected. We request you do not use AI, so as to preserve the authenticity of the content and attached material. We reserve the right to omit any AI material. We may need to contact you to verify the validity of the information you've provided.

In addition, we will be hosting online discussions 1-2 times a month, featuring professionals who will speak on topics relevant to your concerns and specific needs.

We are appalled by the Taliban’s horrific crackdown on protestors in Herat Afghanistan. Since June 6th, Taliban “morality” police have launched a systematic targeting of women and girls across Herat, detaining them under the guise of “improper” adherence to Taliban decrees on “dress code regulations”.

While reports vary, independent and credible media within Afghanistan report that anywhere from 80-90+ women have been detained on Saturday and Sunday alone.

We reject these arrests and forced disappearances of women and girls across Herat, and vehemently reject Taliban claims that these women and girls “violated” dress code as eye witness reports refute such false narratives. We know from credible reports that the Taliban grossly violate the rights of women and girls in detention settings, and fear for the safety of all those detained.

The Taliban’s mass detention is dangerous and a violation of basic human rights, and part of a wider system of control and oppression across all Afghanistan under Taliban rule for the last nearly 5 years.

On Tuesday June 9th, brave men and women took to the streets in Herat’s Jibriel district to protest the mass detentions, and were quickly met with violent force and gunfire by Taliban members. Reports by رروزنامه هشت صبحand others state that at least 2 people, a woman and child, were killed while scores of people were injured. We are closely following additional news covering the situation of injured male protestors being taken away forcefully after Taliban police located them in local hospitals.

We three organizations Afghans Empowered, Generation Outside Afghanistan and EEuropäisches Jugend und Sozialwerk Ggmbhcall on the international community to be held accountable for its silence and complicity regarding the oppression of people in Afghanistan, particularly women and girls. While communities continue to resist against the oppression of Taliban, European officials plan to invite the same Taliban oppressors as guests to Brussels this summer.

European governments want to normalize relations with the illegitimate Taliban officials in order to advance their own political interests of detaining and deporting Afghanistan-nationals back to Afghanistan. Afghanistan is not safe for men nor women; today's crackdown on a protest largely attended by men in Herat is further proof that all our communities are at risk. We will hold European governments accountable for their attempts to violate international human rights law concerning the rights of refugees, asylum seekers, displaced persons, and nationals coming from Afghanistan.

We call for the immediate release of all those detained by the Taliban, and warn the international community against normalization with a group who is suffocating the freedom and safety of all people in Afghanistan.

Almost five years of Taliban rule of racism and brutality endangers international societies
On Saturday, approximately 750 people from all the Afghan ethnicities gathered at the rally in Berlin to protest against the Taliban for crimes they continue to commit against their population.
Women's rights have been abolished. All ethnicities are oppressed and persecuted either in the name of religion, race, political beliefs or external characteristics, as well as also legalizing child marriages. The entire female population has no right to employment and, as many men have been killed in the war, many single mothers are at risk of being forced into marriages with Taliban members. The economic situation is far below the average standard of living. People are suffering due to hunger. This could mean the possibility of a civil war imminent in Afghanistan.
The cooperation of international communities with the Taliban has alarmed Afghan communities that consider there are large numbers of Taliban supporters who live among the refugees and asylum seekers, intent on committing individual crimes in western countries. The Embassy of Afghanistan in Bonn was surrendered by the Germans to the Taliban and now everyone is aware that they are in danger in other European countries as well. Government pressures in recognizing the Taliban are placing actual refugees and asylum seekers at risk, resulting in everyone considered a potential criminal and nobody being recognized as a victim.
There was a very good turnout on May 30th despite the permit issued for only 200 in Berlin. Protesters from Sweden, Belgium and all German cities participated in the demonstration. This new Movement is considered very important by refugees and asylum seekers.
We, Generation Outside Afghanistan, in collaboration with Afghans Empowered, are trying to support their voices be heard everywhere loud and clear. Fascism and racism must be removed from our lives as diseases that must be eradicated. The success of our struggle is by uniting our voices.
