Aiding refugees

Over time, many Afghan refugees have established their homes and businesses in Pakistan. Many also have a local spouse and/or have children who have been born and raised in Pakistan. The government’s directive for Afghan refugees to leave Pakistan by November 1 has placed these families in a heart-wrenching predicament.

Possible solutions may include extending deadlines, establishing pathways to obtain legal documentation, and providing support for integration and resettlement in both Pakistan and Afghanistan.
