Raksha Statement on Afghanistan
& Global Humanitarian Crises
(August 2021)
As an organization that serves immigrant and refugee survivors of abuse and violence for 26 years, Raksha is watching the situation in Afghanistan with deep sadness.
Our hearts go out to individuals, who are fleeing from political upheaval and violence and those who remain behind facing serious threats to their life, rights and safety, during a global pandemic.
We also hold in our hearts the continuing or unfolding crises in Syria, Lebanon, Cuba, Central Sahel, Northern Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo, Venezuela, Yemen, South Sudan, Ethiopia and the growing humanitarian disaster in Haiti.
These escalating refugee/asylee and humanitarian crises are issues of global concern.
Nonprofit organizations that are working tirelessly at the local, national and international level to address this global crisis need your support.
These escalating refugee/asylee and humanitarian crises are issues of global concern.
Please consider supporting our partners who are resettling refugees/asylees coming from Afghanistan and other countries.
Love and light,
Raksha Team
