In your paper, consider the ways in which Afghani people have been impacted by long-term foreign military engagement, and the ramifications of the United States’ decision to remove armed forces at present.

How might the United States’ past military engagement, and its present withdrawal of military forces impact the movement and migration of Afghani peoples? How are women and girls implicated by foreign and local militarization (ex: US military, the Taliban)?Where do Afghani refugees and asylum seekers go, and what are the challenges they may encounter throughout the process? Who is ‘allowed’ to leave?
