Women human rights defenders are coming under increasing pressure in Afghanistan. Many have faced death threats, kidnapping attempts against themselves and their families, as well as physical attacks. Tragically, some have been killed for raising their voice, while others have fled the country.

Write to President Karzai to call on him to protect Women Human Rights Defenders to ensure that they are able to carry out their vital work, without fear of violence and intimidation.
