<p>The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) commenced on 6th January. The ACRS
will provide up to 20,000 women, children and others at risk with a safe and legal
route to resettle in the UK.</p><p>Due to the success of our emergency evacuation
and the larger than anticipated number of people brought over to the UK, we plan to
exceed our initial aim of 5,000 people in the first year of the ACRS.</p><p>There
are around 6,500 people in the UK who have been brought to safety during and after
the evacuation who are eligible for the ACRS. They include women’s rights activists,
journalists, and prosecutors, as well as the Afghan families of British Nationals.
This also includes some of those most at risk, such as members of the LGBT community.</p>
