Bell, Jamie, ‘The uncertain future for Afghan women seeking asylum’, Free Movement, 9 June 2025

Abstract

Jamie Bell discusses the case of an Afghan womens’ rights defender whose asylum claim had been refused. The Home Office found that she was not likely to attract adverse attention from the Taliban. It was also said that she could rely on a support network made up of contacts from her previous work with human rights organisations.
