"Since the Taliban takeover, we women have been deprived of our basic rights, like freedom, education, and work. We are imprisoned in our homes."
-Umulbanin Khavary, women's rights activist. Check out her story here.
Our mission
Afghans in Crisis is a network created by a group of human rights activists from the Global Campus network whose mission initially was to support 120 Afghan human and women's rights activists in their most desperate hour.
Our vision
Our aim is to protect, raise awareness and advocate for Afghan women and girls to be free from harassment and to live their lives in dignity.
Who we support
Since 2021, we have supported Afghan women and activists and their families at risk by providing legal advice, administrative support, or provision of funding/scholarships in Europe. The Afghan families that we have helped are either known to us personally or have been recommended and identified as at risk by personal colleagues/friends we have worked with. Once we finish supporting their cases, AiCN will remain a network and advocacy group for Afghan women and activists, and a platform to raise awareness on the situation of women in Afghanistan.
Achievements
While AiCN is now transitioning into a platform for advocacy and networking, and is no longer accepting cases, we are very proud of the support we have given to over 100 Afghan families a risk.
+100
Over 100 families receiving financial, logistic and/or emotional support are now in safe territories.

Support Afghan families at risk.
Your support is still needed to finance overstay fines, tickets, housing or other logistic needs of the families that we have supported and whose asylum cases have been accepted in a third country. Without your support, they risk losing asylum and a chance for safety and freedom.
