News Center- The Purple Saturdays Movement, an advocacy group focused on women’s rights and empowerment in Afghanistan, issued a statement on Tuesday regarding the situation of Afghan refugees, especially women activists, in Iran, following Israel's recent attacks on Iran.

“Dozens of Afghan refugee families, especially protesting women and human rights activists, have been forced to leave their homes, particularly in Tehran, and seek refuge in other parts of the country,” the statement said.

“These refugees, who had previously fled to Iran to escape Taliban threats and save their lives, are now once again facing a critical and unsafe situation due to the recent tensions in the country.”

According to the statement, many of these families have no access to basic supplies such as drinking water, food, and adequate shelter, and are living under dire humanitarian and security conditions.

In the statement, the movement calls on international organizations, particularly the United Nations office in Iran and human rights advocacy groups, to urgently provide shelter, security, and essential services to Afghan refugees in Iran.
