Women’s Rights Watch: Returning Afghan Women to Afghanistan Is Like Sending Victims Back to the Crime Scene

Sent to Zan TV

The Women’s Rights Watch Afghanistan has described the mass forced deportation of Afghan migrants from Iran, especially unaccompanied women and children, as “a blatant violation of humanitarian principles and international obligations regarding refugee rights” and has called on international institutions to take effective and practical action for the immediate halt of this process.

The organization has warned that returning women to a country where, under Taliban rule, they are deprived of their most basic rights, is equivalent to sending victims back to the crime scene.

Women’s Rights Watch called the Iranian government’s treatment of helpless Afghan women and children “humiliating and misogynistic,” emphasizing that these actions not only violate human rights but also paint a troubling picture of Iran’s immigration policies.

Condemning the growing wave of forced deportations, the organization has demanded an immediate end to this process and clear accountability from the Iranian government for this “blatant injustice.”
