Dr Habiba Sarabi as a refugee today in Germany shares with Rita about the fading rights of the displaced people of Afghanistan. 

  • The 3rd largest group of the displaced population in the world,the Afghan refugees, asylum seekers and the IDPs. How the prioritization of Ukraine refugees further deepens the plight of Afghan refugees? 
  • 90% of Afghans face starvation while the international community’s joint responsibility diminishes. Is Afghanistan not a priority anymore for the international community? 
  • Roll-back of Afghan Women rights within Afghanistan: the return of restrictions, practices and denials. Where is the hope? 
  • Can the international community still intervene in Afghanistan’s human rights and humanitarian support?
