IOM: Uncertainty in the Air for Women, Prospects of Migration in Afghanistan

12.08.2022: Samuel Hall has been speaking to women in Afghanistan since before August 2021. The women who have remained in Afghanistan ask: “What will await us now?” One year on, the answer seems to be taking a gradual turn for the worse as women’s rights and freedoms — including the freedom of movement — continue to erode.

Through their voices, these blogs written by Samuel Hall's Katherine James, Najia Alizada, Nassim Majidi, and Devyani Nighoskar for IOM - UN Migration & IOM Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC) document how the lives of women in Afghanistan have changed, their hopes for the future and from the international community.

This text in the blogs is based on the article “Afghan women, migration and their future” by the Samuel Hall authors Nassim Majidi, Najia Alizada, Katherine James and Marta Bivand Erdal, and was published in the IOM - UN Migration's Special Migration Policy Practice Issue on Afghanistan in June 2022.
