(Hasht-e Subh Daily)Netherlands Overhauls Asylum Policy in Favor of Women From Afghanistan

Release Date: 2026-05-31
Media: Hasht-e Subh Daily
Summary: The Dutch government has announced a major change to its asylum policy for Afghanistan, citing the worsening security and human rights situation under Taliban rule. A report by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs found that the conditions for women and girls have significantly deteriorated, particularly after the 2024 “Law for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice,” which severely restricted women’s movement, education, and social participation.

Under the revised policy, Afghan women and girls will generally qualify for asylum residence permits in the Netherlands. The Dutch government stated that the current immigration framework is no longer sufficient to address the situation in Afghanistan and that new reforms will therefore be introduced.
