Protesters call for safe routes for women and girls from Afghanistan to seek sanctuary in Britain
People gather ahead of a march in London for the freedom of Afghan women and girls organised by Action for Afghanistan
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
PROTESTERS called for safe routes for women and girls from Afghanistan to seek sanctuary in Britain as they marched through London today.
Attendees chanted “women’s rights, human rights” and held banners reading “Education, Work, Freedom,” as they took part in the demonstration.
More than 40 civil society organisations were involved in the demo, organised by the Action for Afghanistan group, with co-ordinated marches also held in Washington DC and four cities in Canada, according to organisers.
