A win for Afghan allies.

Secretary Rubio is signing a nine-month extension of operations at Camp As Sayliyah.

We are grateful to him and to the Government of Qatar.

On May 27, IRCC suspended immigration documents and travel for residents of Uganda, DRC, and South Sudan due to Ebola, delaying settlement of human rights defenders seeking safety in Canada.
Uganda is now Ebola-free, but measures remain until Aug. 28.

Meet Soraya, an Afghan women's rights advocate who risked everything to stand up for freedom after the fall of Kabul. Your kind donation will help reunite her with her parents and 3 younger siblings and pay for her child's critical medical condition. 👇

Today we celebrate one of our dear friends, Shifra, for reaching this milestone of acquiring a diploma, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for her.

"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.
