Afghan women being denied refuge by government

@Maitri108

Are there any Islamic countries offering them refuge or is it just us?

Why are so few not concerned that many of ones that are given asylum, including women, don't want to integrate and are want to continue living with the same beliefs and culture as the country they have left behind?

If we had reliable stats we could believe. And I don't feel we ever do get that. Then, we can look at the cases and I believe it's going to be disproportionately men clogging up the backlog of cases awaiting assessment. I don't believe men in Afghanistan are all having a fab time, yet, do you all realise what life is like to be a woman there?

I don't know if we have a prioritisation point system but sure to God a female in Afghanistan of all places deserves protection. The hotels are wall to wall men.

Having read the article, everything in me says this is wrong. And it feels like another one of those gaslighting cases, denial of absolute reality. The claim is she'll be ok because she has adequate protection and support. Er no. In Afghanistan? No way on earth. She says herself this so called supportive network has fled.

The problem is out of control it seems yet none of us can rely on anything we're told.

I really dislike these YouTube weirdos carrying out 'audits'. It did show me a few things though. These annoying YouTube guys turn up at hotels housing migrants all over the country to just goad the public with their footage. They will try get some information out the men there in all these hotels. Many are there for years awaiting processing. They will declare how many years and that they can't work whilst waiting. They're all men, always men.

It's a mess. I don't doubt the legitimacy of the people but you just can't discern one case from an other on face value. Why are they always men.

I'd rather this brave lady was entitled to remain any day.

Another kind soul suggested that Afghan women work towards change yet here you are saying why would you be so stupid to do that.

Exactly. People in these volatile and dangerous places simply can't win.

The west has to make their bloody mind up what they want to change and to go for it. Otherwise you have to let the people be.

I don't get any of this. Surely this shit making women go against their own men and their own culture started from the West, which now refuses to back it up. How the women can oppose their regyme and what change will happen in society whose men don't want that change unless like you go and bomb their whole place down and now as it happens in another area the people are called ( fairly so) monsters.

Most female 'Afghan' refugees are actually Pakistani. Afghan women who need refuge really struggle to leave Afghanistan.

It’s not ‘open borders’ to comply with our obligations to refugees under international conventions. I know these sort of things are out of fashion but they were put in place for a reason. Do you think countries that refused admission to refugee Jews in the 1930s were doing the right thing?

The Kindertransport has been mentioned on this thread, but it existed in that form because the UK wouldn’t let adults in. But I suppose that’s ok, we “didn’t owe them anything”.

It's not sociopathic to realise actions have consequences.

Shitting hell. The lack of knowledge on this thread is off the scale. For the people who don't get it, go read up about why people (and in particular women) from Afghanistan are seeking asylum in this country in the first place. Learn about the way the UK fucked up along with the US in leaving Afghanistan after we'd gone in there and caused a mess.

And no, we are never gonna have the whole fucking world seeking asylum here cos that's ridiculous. Honestly, it's a shit show here and it's not the fault of the people fleeing persecution but the fault of the rich, greedy bastards who fuck us over then blame the easiest people to blame.

Fucks sake, makes me so cross.

A pragmatic human being. Why on earth wouldn't you choose to do something that you knew would cause you mega trouble then expect a random country to rescue you?

Which countries would greet us with humanity and an open border programme if the government decided to oppress us? I’m genuinely curious as to who you think would reciprocate?

Sometimes I read something like that second paragraph and wonder if there's actually a human being behind it.

You were saying about the treatment of women in Afghanistan in general. If that was the case then we can't take all Afghan women

And surely she CHOSE to become a human rights worker. Knowing the risks she put herself in. Nobody forced her

But that we would have to take ALL Afghan women . I think the compassionate features are to do with the people apply having some special issues, not being treated exactly the same as every other woman in their country
