Accountability
LGBTIQ+ Afghans continue to face some of the gravest human rights violations in the world, including targeted violence, torture, sexual violence, forced marriage, disappearance, and arbitrary detention under the Taliban. These abuses form part of broader gender-based crimes and patterns of persecution that remain severely under-documented and overlooked. ALO’s Accountability Program exists to address this critical gap.
As a refugee-led organization embedded in affected communities, ALO plays a vital role in documenting violations that would otherwise remain invisible. Our team collects survivor testimonies, evidence, and patterns of abuse using rigorous, trauma-sensitive, and ethically grounded methodologies. Safeguarding, confidentiality, and survivor protection guide every aspect of our work.
