    Freedom of movement must be respected. No armed groups who assume authority through violence should prevent citizens from legitimate right to travel and access to airport. People will judge on actions not words.

    Planes are leaving largely empty. The international community must secure access to the airport for those who want to leave or who are at risk if they stay.

    So it begins to show in Kabul, the closing in of women's lives under the Taliban.

    Khadija Amin the new anchor on state TV last week. Taliban taking over her seat as of Monday. Ms. Amin told us her boss informed her Taliban have banned women from returning to work at state television.

    On Taliban & women rights: important to remain focused on legal rights and next steps for existing legal rights of women. That should be the baseline. Behavior/practice can change overnight & tends to be context specific/varied by province, local “authorities” etc

    5) Continued scrutiny of Taliban on women and girls rights. Full range of women’s legal rights must be upheld & protected. If TB claim this is the case, they can not repress right to work, they should also hold accountable those fighters who violate, suppress women’s human rights

    3) Activation of visa services, open borders in the region, openness to Afghan refugees. No one wants to be a refugee. In this moment of need for Afghans, we need all including the Muslim world to do more

    2) Safe passage to airport. There is no point in having passports and visas if airport in Kabul & other provinces remain inaccessible due to the DW ar from Taliban checkpoints. Clear guarantees needed from Taliban on safe passage of all, including women traveling on their own

    Messaging and coordination is so important. People at high risk are stuck in Kabul while reports about plane leaving almost empty. Not acceptable. Irresponsible withdrawal is followed by messy evacuation leading to tragedy. The US & others can do better

    Some ideas on support to Afghanistan: 1) Airport security, clear messaging and coordination. Airport needs to be secured, not just for evacuation of foreigners but with a view to medium, long term to also mediate the current rush that is causing suffering, indignity

    I know what happens when the world loses sight of women & girls in crises. When it looks away, war is waged on women’s bodies. This must not happen in . The international community must act so that the Taliban doesn't continue to rob women of their rights & freedoms.

    We will never, ever be able to match the courage and bravery of Afghan women. None of us. And certainly not the leaders who dragged on a war in their name, showed little sincere commitment beyond token representation, and then left them to fight for their place through a fire

    It is heartbreaking and deeply shameful to watch how the world has completely failed the people in Afghanistan. It is impossible to imagine the situation they - especially women and children - now face.

    همه افغان ها وطن خود را دوست دارند و در وضعیت صلح آمیز علاقمند و مایل به دیدار و برگشت اند. یکی از اولین نشانه های نظم و امنیت این است که شهروندان، زنان و مردان، بدون ترس گشت و گذار کنند و به میدان و یا هر محل دیگر دسترسی داشته باشند.

    همه این گروه ها غیر نظامی اند، باید هدف قرار نگیرند و محافظت شوند. این گروه ها سرمایه افغانستان اند و باید محافظت شوند. دوام وضعیت وحشت به نفع افغانستان نیست. راه های مواصلاتی‌ به میدان هوایی باید امن و قابل دسترس باشد تا افراد به خانواده ها و عزیزان خود بپیوندند.
