The Government of Pakistan is accelerating its drive to expel undocumented Afghans, as well as those who have temporary permission to stay. Between 700 and 800 families are being deported daily. These deportations pose devastating risks—particularly for women and girls—who face heightened threats of violence, persecution, and loss of access to basic rights upon return. These actions violate international protection principles and erode decades of humanitarian efforts to safeguard vulnerable populations.
We call on the Government of Canada to urge the Government of Pakistan to:
- Immediately halt the deportations of Afghan refugees
- Uphold the rights to protection, safety and dignity for all displaced individuals
- Commit to durable, rights-based solutions for those fleeing conflict and oppression
