Webinar Report - Dialogue with Afghan Diaspora Women (2021)
Executive summary
On 27 October 2021, the Danish Refugee Council's Diaspora Programme (DRC DP), Members of the European Parliament, and the Rahela Trust organized an online public event between members of the EU Parliament and women from the Afghan women under the Taliban ruling.
The event took a deep dive on some of the main issues related to Afghan diaspora women in Europe. The aim was to provide Afghan diaspora women a platform to explain the situation on the ground from their point of view, voice their concerns and start a dialogue with key European Union stakeholders on how the EU can ensure that the gains from the last 20 years are preserved, how to respond to the humanitarian crisis with the specific needs of women and girls in mind and how to protect girls and women in Afghanistan as well as those seeking protection outside of Afghanistan.
