LGBTQ+ Afghans are facing an “increasingly desperate situation” since the Taliban takeover in August 2021, according to a report by Human Rights Watch and OutRight Action International. The 43-page report, entitled “Even If You Go To The Skies, We’ll Find You”, features interviews from 60 LGBTQ+ Afghans conducted from October to December 2021, and details horrific instances of threats, violence, and sexual assault. Many interviewees described the fear of being outed to the Taliban by family, neighbors, or ex-partners. Several LGBT+ people still living in Afghanistan said that even if they manage to avoid direct violence, they are now unable to earn a living or go out to purchase essentials.
