London protesters urge Trump to support women’s rights in Afghanistan

A group of Afghans gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in London during Trump’s inauguration, urging the new U.S. administration to address human rights violations in Afghanistan and to support women’s rights and vulnerable Afghans.

The protest, organized on Monday by human rights activists and Afghan refugees highlighting the ongoing crisis in their home country.

Noorulhaq Nasimi, leading the protest, stated in a declaration, “The Taliban government has destroyed the fundamental rights of the Afghan people,” calling for global action led by the U.S. to restore human rights in Afghanistan.

Justin, an American participant at the protest, expressed shame over the lack of awareness among Americans regarding Afghanistan. He voiced hope that Trump’s administration would offer stronger support to the Afghan people.

Protesters issued a statement emphasizing their condemnation of human rights violations and calling on the new U.S. government to address the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.

The statement also highlighted the need for urgent humanitarian aid and resettlement programs for vulnerable Afghans, stressing the critical importance of these measures.

This comes amid the suspension of Afghan refugee relocation by an executive order issued yesterday by U.S. President Trump, halting the process for at least three months to assess whether it aligns with the national interest of the United States.

The protest serves as a stark reminder of the dire situation in Afghanistan, where millions are suffering under a regime that disregards basic human rights, particularly for women and marginalized communities.

With Afghanistan facing an ongoing humanitarian crisis, international cooperation led by the U.S. is urgently needed. Concrete actions, including aid and resettlement support, can offer relief to those most affected and restore hope for a better future.
