Harry, 36, and Meghan, 40, have said they were “left speechless” at the scenes in Kabul. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have now come out to offer their support to the efforts of a group that “relentlessly advocates for women’s rights” in the nation.
The Women for Afghan Women (WAW) group “works to help Afghan women and girls exercise their rights to pursue their individual potential to self-determination, and to the representation in all areas of life”.
Since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, WAW has said they are “heartbroken at the speed and extent to which the violence and escalating conflict in Afghanistan has threatened the innocent lives of millions and displaced hundreds of thousands.”
Writing on Twitter yesterday, WAW said: “We are immensely grateful for the generosity of Archewell Foundation in support of our efforts to evacuate/relocate thousands of Afghan women, children, families, including our staff.”
The charity added: “We urgently appeal to all parties to respect the sanctity of life and human rights.

The Duke of Sussex founded the Invictus Games in 2014.
The sporting event enables wounded servicemen and women to compete across several disciplines.
However, the joint response of Harry and Meghan to events in Afghanistan has put the Sussexes under fire.
Royal commentator Robert Jobson criticised the pair for “woke nonsense” when appearing on GB News last week.
GB News’ Dan Wooton said: “They are desperate to be on the front pages at every opportunity, how they can say they are experiencing how the world is on the edge from their 15-million mansion in the heart of California, I really don't know.”
