The withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan has left tens of thousands of America’s Afghan allies facing an uncertain and potentially dangerous future. Among them is Brishna Sadiqi, a senior coordinator who dedicated five years working alongside the U.S. government in Kabul.
Sadiqi applied for a special immigrant visa, submitting all required documentation and requesting expedited processing. Despite her efforts, her application remains under review, leaving her in limbo as the situation in Afghanistan evolves rapidly.
“We women actually worked side by side with Americans. But still, we are left behind,” Sadiqi expressed, highlighting the plight of many Afghan women who contributed significantly during the past two decades.
The concerns are especially acute for women who held prominent roles or were publicly associated with international organizations. They now face heightened risks amid changing political landscapes, seeking safety and recognition for their contributions.
The international community watches closely as stories like Sadiqi’s unfold, emphasizing the urgent need for swift action to protect those who supported foreign missions and advocated for progress within Afghanistan.
