The rights groups have praised the two Scandinavian states’ move towards granting refugee status to Afghan women and girls, who have been living in complete desperation and limbo under the current regime in their country.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Thursday appreciated the decision by Danish and Swedish Immigration Authorities for extending their helping hands to the isolated women and girls of Afghanistan during these difficult times and giving them refugee status in the Scandinavian countries. HRW said the two nations should be models for other countries around the world to follow.

HRW stated that although the scheme may not have any significant impact on the existing conditions of Afghan people, the decision opens a safe pathway for Afghan women and girls to resettle in those countries, and it represents an important moment to recognize that half of Afghanistan’s population face persecution under Taliban rule.

Last week, Denmark’s Appeal Board announced that the status of asylum seekers from Afghanistan will change "solely because of their gender" under Section 7, of the Aliens Act. The decision was made based on the continued worsening conditions for women and girls in Afghanistan.

Similarly, Sweden in December announced that all women and girls from Afghanistan will be granted refugee status and a three-year residence permit.

The Swedish Migration Agency stated that It has now become extremely difficult for Afghan women and girls to study, earn a living, seek care, or get protection from violence that they can be considered to be persecuted on the basis of their gender.

Following the recent bans issued by Afghanistan’s de fact authorities restricting Afghan women and girls from getting an education, working, and appearing in public places, Sweden and Denmark have generously reacted by granting refugee status to Afghanistan women and girls.
