International Human Rights attorney Kimberly Motley explained how the current situation in Afghanistan has allegedly turned into a “human rights nuclear bomb,” especially for women, amid the Taliban’s takeover of the country.

Motley explained during an interview on CNN’s “New Day” with host Brianna Keilar that following the Taliban’s advancement on Kabul and newly established control over the weekend, many women and men are now left “terrified for their lives.”

“I’m getting so many messages from, particularly women, and men, who are terrified for their lives,” Motley stated in response to an audio clip of an Afghan woman sharing how she feared for her life under the Taliban’s rule. “Women who worked with the international community, as well as men, who worked alongside our military, or those that are SIV [Special Immigrant Visa] applicants.”

“It is a terrifying situation like you said, it is changing very rapidly,” Motley added, saying she feels that the Biden administration is not hearing the cries for help from the people of Afghanistan.

“We helped build this. We broke it, and we need to fix this,” Motley continued, claiming that she’s heard stories of women allegedly not being allowed to attend school or work, in addition to girls allegedly being forced to become child brides.

“I have hundreds of SIV applicants and dozens and dozens of Afghans who worked along our military that just aren’t being heard, and are talking about how their electronics, their phones are being taken away … I’m hearing about people being beaten on the street, women, men, and children. It’s extremely distressing. We definitely have a responsibility to do what we can.”

Prior to the Taliban capturing Kabul over the weekend and declaring Afghanistan the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,” President Joe Biden had announced in April that the U.S. would withdraw military troops from the country by Sept. 11.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
