Nobody forgot. Your friends and family accepted it.

Get out. It's the only chance at freedom you'll have for generations.

Pretty sure its extremely difficult to get out of Afghanistan, especially if you're a woman. In fact I don't think you can unless you're accompanied by a man. I get what you're saying but "getting out" is immensely dangerous

Yep, and yet it's literally the only solution besides literal revolution steeped in death.

Sometimes there is literally no easy answer. It doesn't make the answer any less true.

Maybe this is the best we can do at this point -- NGOs to negotiate safe passage for any Afghan to safely leave if they want to, and the Taliban do nothing to stop them. The UN as a whole can distribute refugees in a way that every country has equal burden.
