To Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif and the leaders of all Western governments:

As citizens of the world, we call on you to prevent the forced deportation of Afghan refugees, especially women human rights defenders and those at risk of persecution. Sending them back to Afghanistan is a death sentence, violating international human rights principles. We urge you to grant immediate protection to those who risked everything for justice and equality.

In just days, 60 brave human rights defenders in Pakistan could be deported to Afghanistan, where they face prison, torture, or even death.

They have raised their voices for women’s rights, democracy, and freedom, and the Taliban want to silence them forever.

But this is where we come in. With a massive global outcry, we can push Pakistan to stop these high-risk deportations. The government has backed down before under international pressure, and together, we can make it happen again.

Sign this petition and we'll work with allies on the ground to take our call directly to key decision makers in the Pakistani and Western governments that once promised a better future to Afghans.
