About

History of Rainbow Afghanistan Organization

We are “Rainbow Afghanistan” — a non-profit organization established to defend the rights, dignity, and lives of members of Afghanistan’s LGBTIQ+ community. Our emergence is rooted in decades of structural discrimination, criminalizing laws, and cultural and traditional oppression that have made living freely and safely extremely difficult for gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgender, intersex, non-binary, and queer individuals in Afghanistan. At a time when education about gender and sexual orientation was extremely limited, and extreme religious and traditional slogans and policies dominated public discourse, the social environment leaned toward denial and hatred. Many members of the LGBTIQ+ community were forced to hide their identities. Yet, secrecy did not eliminate the foundation of violence: groups of individuals—especially those whose gender identity was visible—remained exposed to various forms of violence. One particularly tragic manifestation of this violence is the abhorrent phenomenon of child abuse — a practice that victimizes children and adolescents through sexual exploitation and simultaneously reflects the deep-rooted patriarchy and exploitation in Afghan society. This phenomenon also makes the LGBTIQ+ community doubly vulnerable.
