Free to Think Message on the Crisis in Afghanistan
Manage episode 300495373 series 2887242
University scholars and students, public intellectuals, civil society leaders and human rights defenders across Afghanistan, especially women and ethnic and religious minorities, are in fear for their lives. None of them wore a uniform or got a government paycheck, but for the better part of twenty years these talented individuals have worked for a new, rights-respecting, forward-looking, and knowledge-based Afghanistan. They dedicated their lives to education, openness, and tolerance. Their lives are now at risk.
Institutions and individuals throughout the Scholars at Risk network and beyond have mobilized to offer temporary positions and other support to as many as possible.
- If you are at a higher education institution or other organization that might offer a position to a colleague from Afghanistan, please email [email protected].
- Please visit www.scholarsatrisk.org to support SAR's advocacy on behalf of Afghanistan, or to donate to SAR's urgent appeal for Afghanistan.
In honor of our colleagues there, Free to Think is replaying our earlier conversation about Afghanistan. We will return with new episodes soon.
