After the Taliban took control of Kabul in August 2021, the U.S. evacuated more than 77,000 Afghans to this country. The desperate images of those evacuations, mothers handing their children over fences, people clinging to the wheels of planes, were seared into our conscience.
Separated from her family after fleeing the Taliban, Benafsha Qasemi is among a growing number of women who sought refuge in America and talk about their lives now and everything they gave up. In this session, we hear Qasemi talks about her family, including her baby which she left behind, and of the uncertainties of her future.
According to the UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, there are almost 2.5 million registered refugees from Afghanistan–the second-largest refugee population in the world. As the Taliban claws back power, and as violence continues to tear through the country, the numbers will rise.
