Sie sagen, Deutschland sei weltoffen. Aber nehmen keine Menschen mehr aus Krisengebieten auf. Das ist zynisch.

Until the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, women were able to freely sell their hair to be made into wigs, bringing in crucial cash. But a ban last year has forced women to brave punishment by covertly trading hair. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/25/world/society/afghan-women-taliban-hair-trade/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #afghanistan #women039sissues #humanrights #taliban

"Das Hope in Darkness-Team besteht überwiegend aus afghanischen Frauenrechtsaktivistinnen, die nach Deutschland evakuiert wurden oder sich noch in Afghanistan befinden. Wir haben eine Initiative entwickelt, um die afghanischen Frauen mit der Welt zu verbinden und ihre Hoffnungen in dieser dunkelsten Zeit der afghanischen Geschichte widerzuspiegeln. Der größte Respekt gebührt den Teammitgliedern in Afghanistan, die große Risiken auf sich genommen haben."

#Reading Prisoner of Tehran. Compelling story of a teenager's courage and faith. The trauma of imprisonment, torture, abuse and erasure and then the survivor's guilt and the shame of betrayal are overwhelming. And this is Iran, and #Afghanistan and so many other places that war on #women and silence #dissent. This author's first book is well written and nicely constructed. Recommend it!

A surreal video circulating now on social media where a guy standing on the #Belarus border of #Poland says “I want to go to Poland, but they won’t let us”.

As anyone can find online on https://migracje.gov.pl in 2025 alone almost ~1000 people migrated legally to Poland from #Pakistan, ~2000 from #Afghanistan, ~1000 from #Syria etc.

This is just Poland alone (!), so the process does work, the “fortress Europe” is a myth. But this particular guy decided it’s absolutely necessary for him to buy air tickets and visa to Belarus, and then march through the heavily guarded border zone in Belarus only to try to storm the border fence on Polish border? What’s the point?

Well, the whole point is hidden in the small print at the bottom of the video - GPK is Belarus border force, who participates in a coordinated human smuggling business. This video is literally an advertising video of state-sponsored human smugglers who are trying to force another country to accept their customers, thus making their business even more efficient and profitable.

"Nobody would come to our aid" he said. We ALL came the first time article 5 was enlisted in the #Afghanistan war. (numbers of lost lives per country) #UK , #Canada , #France , #Germany , #Italy , #Poland , #Denmark , #Spain , #Netherlands , #Romania .

#Trump’s threats especially on taking over #Canada, leave Canadian veterans that served alongside US troops particularly angry.

“Over more than a dozen years in #Afghanistan, 158 Canadian soldiers were killed, along with seven civilians.

An additional 2,000 troops were wounded.”
