How can you help the situation in Afghanistan?
After 20 years of engagement and investment, it is our moral responsibility to fulfill our obligations protecting the human rights of Afghan women and girls. The vow the United States made more than 20 years ago is still valid and is needed now more than ever. The situation that had changed for the better has been reversed once again, and we bear responsibility for that.
