"Analysis of government data by charity Amnesty International UK shows that the grant rate on Afghan asylum claims has fallen from 96 per cent to 34 per cent over the time that Labour has been in office."
"Wendy Chamberlain, LibDem MP and chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Afghan women and girls, said: Women in Afghanistan are enduring one of the most oppressive regimes in the world, a regime that is systematically removing them from daily life."
"The UK's growing refusal to grant asylum to Afghan women, despite the recognition of their plight, raises serious concerns about the commitment to human rights and protection for vulnerable populations."
The grant rate for Afghan asylum claims in the UK has drastically decreased from 96% to 34% under Labour's government. This decline has led to accusations of betrayal against women and girls fleeing repression. Prior to the Taliban's return, approval rates ranged from 45% to 62%. In 2025, 370 Afghan women were denied asylum. Wendy Chamberlain, a LibDem MP, emphasized the oppressive regime Afghan women face, highlighting the UK's increasing refusal to provide sanctuary despite their dire circumstances.
