Groups working to help Afghan girls escape from clutches of the Taliban
“Here’s a very brief description of the complexity and danger of this mission. First, we must find a country that will accept a few of the girls and provide resettlement services for at least a year, as Canada has. But there are at least another 600 who need to leave.
Then we must get them out of Afghanistan. The Kabul airport is closed. We must find another landing strip, arrange for a charter plane to get there, and help the girls get to the landing strip through multiple Taliban check points. When they are out of Afghanistan, we must then secure lodging, meals and assistance for them as they wait for transfer to the country that has agreed to accept them. The amount of money, logistics, coordination and help from people who care is, sometimes, overwhelming.”
