What the petition asks

Organise an immediate evacuation of British Afghans' Families stuck in Afghanistan fearing for their lives
Millions of women and girls will be denied their right to education, marriage, reproductive health, access to public places etc; thousands of LGBTQIA groups will be at the risk of persecution under the Taliban's version of Sharia law, and government officials and women activists who fought for women and minority rights are also at the risk of persecution. Some of these groups have families in Great Britain and need to be evacuated urgently.
