On the third anniversary of the takeover of the Taliban in Afghanistan on August 15th

Three years after the Taliban's takeover, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan is still devastating: girls are banned from attending school from the seventh grade, women are neither allowed to work nor study or leave the house alone. Millions of children suffer from hunger, exploitation and lack of educational opportunities. Many parents are desperate and send their children to work instead of to school. At the same time, the country is massively affected by the effects of climate change and a variety of natural disasters, as recently the devastating flood disaster in May 2024 in the north of the country. Against this background, measures of humanitarian aid and basic care are just as important as long -term development cooperation and promotion of civil society on site.

In addition to the urgently needed continuation and equipment of international aid for Afghanistan, the child rights organization Terre Des Hommes calls on the Federal Government on the occasion of the anniversary of the takeover of the Taliban.

"The Federal Government has anchored the federal recording program for particularly endangered Afghans in the coalition agreement and thus gave a promise that must not be broken. Women and girls in Afghanistan are being massively suppressed in Afghanistan. From the 7th grade, this is a massive violation of children's rights that many young women have blocked the future. To accept more people from Afghanistan, ”explains Joshua Hofert, board spokesman for Terre Des Hommes .

According to the Federal Government's coalition agreement, the BAP is expected to run until the end of the current legislative period in September 2025. However, the budget design presented in July 2024 provides for financial cuts that would de facto mean an end to the BAP. Together with numerous other organizations, Terre Des Hommes the continuation of the federal recording program joint appeal in July
