Powell informed that the LGBT community has been left vulnerable since some Afghans have been reporting their presence to the Taliban in order to "curry favour" with them.
The NGO said the LGBT community has gone into hiding as they cannot depend on protection from their own family members while describing the current mission as "complicated" and "scary".
