Why this petition matters

Started by Emma Harrison

Right now, women, children, journalists and human rights defenders are fleeing the Taliban. We can follow Canada's lead and offer sanctuary to people escaping Afghanistan.

The UK has very few safe routes to safety, the current Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme, which supports Syrians is one, but we need to pressure on the UK Government to create a safe route for those fleeing Afghanistan.

Tag your MP, make some noise, and show the Government that we're compassionate and want to welcome refugees.
