Assault Survivor Care Package

Sadly the epidemic of sexual assault done by the Taliban is rampant. It shows no end in sight nor does it discriminate. All ages, both genders, are impacted by these war crimes. 

We work in 16 out of the 32 provinces in Afghanistan. Trusted health partners in these locations are able to report assault cases to my team of volunteer doctors. This is done under the radar as the Taliban does not provide any care to anyone going to a government hospital who claims they have been assaulted.

Our cases range from 1 year old children, boys and girls, and go upwards in age. 

The cases are savage, often involving torture and groups of men. Most of these victims have STIs/STDs from the men who have assaulted them. On occasion, they are pregnant from long term abductions and assaults. 

This donations helps us cover the average medical needs for one survivor.

We can only provide care for those that we can afford to help. 

Our care includes:

• lab tests
• ultrasounds
• pain medications
• medical abortions in the 1st trimester
• antibiotics
• a safe house, food, and care while getting care
• transportation to our safe house clinics
• follow-up visits
• After their initial appt, we send them home with a full pantry of food, ongoing medical support, and coming soon, we will offer virtual counseling in their native language
• All services are FREE for the patients but, not for us to provide this care

Each donation allows us to fully treat one survivor. In this process, we select the most critical cases first - children under 12 are always the top priority. 

Working with a team of US trained doctors, they document this work carefully so we here in the US are able to track and report each case. We hope these criminals will one day see justice. 

Often we get the identify of the attackers and work to flag them so they cannot travel internationally. 

We take this seriously. For our doctors who do this work, it is illegal and if found, the Taliban will execute them without hesitation. 

Our doctors are committed to this cause and our support network there to provide the best, and most safe care is strong and grows daily.
