We were very heartened with some good news out of Afghanistan on 26 October 2021. The IAJ General Secretariat told us a humanitarian transit corridor for Afghan women, female judges, judges, and members of parliament and their families opened up. The work of the IAJ and IAWJ supported by what little effort we can muster means a lot.
Please donate to our sisters emergency fund here:
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP
You can help by making a donation, however small, to the emergency fund for Afghan Women Judges through NZAWJ. This fund will be managed together with IAWJ, with Susan Glazebrook as president, to help those who are evacuated and those who remain. Thank you to everyone who has generously donated already. Please continue to pass this on to brother and sister judges and lawyers who wish to help.
The bank account details are: 01-1823-0020621

From here the judicial refugees will be relocated to third countries.
The transit corridor was created with the Kazakstan Head of State in cooperation with international non-governmental organisations.
