"Attending the Pride parade here in Canada is truly an amazing feeling. Over 2 million people in participants and spectators was a completely lovely shock to me, and being able to celebrate this freely gave me a feeling of deep validation and a sense of belonging.”

[Task Force Nyx @TaskForceNyx]

In the spirit of celebrating Pride Month 2026, we bring you a story of one of our activists, Fahad. He lived in the Kakuma refugee camp for 5 years under harsh living conditions before they were resettled in Canada, where they continue their activism.

"I remember how the police back in Kakuma used to demolish our pride celebration set-ups, including other LGBTIQ celebrations we tried to hold, and even arrest the event planners."

May Allah Bless us all.

Imagine what she could do if she had resources and freedom.

Your contribution could help give girls and women a better life and share their stories.

“We Afghan girls still dream of being seen not as a brief headline but as human beings who deserve the right to education and freedom.
Sometimes it feels like the world has forgotten us.

[Task Force Nyx @TaskForceNyx]

In continuation of the story of Parwana, we bring you the other creative side of Parwana that is hidden and needs to be shown to the world.
She uses her voice and talent to spread awareness of issues girls like her face in a country where they don't have a voice.

[Task Force Nyx @TaskForceNyx]

But because she is a girl, she is denied the chance to bring her dreams to life like her brothers.
For her inspiring full story, follow us! We hope Parwana’s words spark your desire to advocate for change for girls like her.

Meet "Parwana", a 17-year-old girl from Afghanistan who has two teenage brothers. For five years, she has not been allowed to go to school. "If I had been going to school, by now I should have been at university."

This International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersex Discrimination, and Transphobia day,
Many across the world still cannot love freely because of politics, religion, discrimination, and hate.

As we begin the countdown to World Refugee Day, we are bringing back activist takeovers of our TFN socials here and on Insta. Next week we will kick these off with the stories and experiences of an Afghan teenaged girl/artist/women’s rights advocate. Watch this space!

[Task Force Nyx @TaskForceNyx]

Wonderful to catch up in London with @shawnjvandiver, fearless leader of @afghanevac and advocate we have admired and appreciated collaborating with since 2021. Shawn never wanes in his commitment to the cause and we are grateful for his presence in this world!

[Task Force Nyx @TaskForceNyx]

Our hearts break for the service members who were brutally attacked. We also fear for our many Afghan friends whose futures have been thrown into limbo… again. One individual’s actions should never define an entire community.

It is vital that you contacted your elected officials in the United States and urge them to protect Enduring Welcome. Afghan allies who are vetted and who risked their lives protecting our freedoms deserve the pathway to safety they were promised.

Urgent information below.

Notable — the notices received by those who crossed through CBP One are assumed valid but many have received them.

More to come.
