In honor of World Refugee Day, we celebrate and elevate the women who were the driving force behind TF Nyx’s inception—Afghanistan’s protesters.❤️🇦🇫❤️
Thank you to all who made this happen!! @afghanevac
On May 27, IRCC suspended immigration documents and travel for residents of Uganda, DRC, and South Sudan due to Ebola, delaying settlement of human rights defenders seeking safety in Canada.
Uganda is now Ebola-free, but measures remain until Aug. 28.

Meet Soraya, an Afghan women's rights advocate who risked everything to stand up for freedom after the fall of Kabul. Your kind donation will help reunite her with her parents and 3 younger siblings and pay for her child's critical medical condition. 👇

Today we celebrate one of our dear friends, Shifra, for reaching this milestone of acquiring a diploma, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for her.
We are celebrating Festo. A human rights activist who has received his Canadian high school diploma and is heading into trade school in a few short months. We are so proud of you at Nyx for reaching this milestone.
In celebration of Pride Month 2026, meet Eunice. From surviving rejection, conversion therapy, and police raids in Uganda to rebuilding her life in Canada, her story is one of resilience, courage, and hope. 🌈 #PrideMonth #Pride2026

"I had given up & struggled with depression. Being part of the queer community helped me heal & rebuild my confidence."
This Pride Month, we're celebrating Eunice's journey of resilience, healing, and advocacy. 🌈 #PrideMonth #Pride2026.
In the spirit of celebrating Pride Month 2026, we bring you a story of one of our activists, Fahad. He lived in the Kakuma refugee camp for 5 years under harsh living conditions before they were resettled in Canada, where they continue their activism.

"I remember how the police back in Kakuma used to demolish our pride celebration set-ups, including other LGBTIQ celebrations we tried to hold, and even arrest the event planners."
“We Afghan girls still dream of being seen not as a brief headline but as human beings who deserve the right to education and freedom.
Sometimes it feels like the world has forgotten us.
In continuation of the story of Parwana, we bring you the other creative side of Parwana that is hidden and needs to be shown to the world.
She uses her voice and talent to spread awareness of issues girls like her face in a country where they don't have a voice.
Imagine what she could do if she had resources and freedom.
Your contribution could help give girls and women a better life and share their stories.

Meet "Parwana", a 17-year-old girl from Afghanistan who has two teenage brothers. For five years, she has not been allowed to go to school. "If I had been going to school, by now I should have been at university."
But because she is a girl, she is denied the chance to bring her dreams to life like her brothers.
For her inspiring full story, follow us! We hope Parwana’s words spark your desire to advocate for change for girls like her.
