"Stories From Inside Afghanistan: Leading The Resistance From Exile" with Zahra Nader

"It was assumed that because I am a woman, I cannot do this work."

This week, say hello to Editor in Chief at Zan Times, journalist, and writer from Afghanistan, Zahra Nader. In August 2021, the world watched on when the Taliban took Afghanistan back. For many, it was a death sentence. For most, a return to a life of oppression. But the resistance is beginning.

In this episode, meet the woman behind a syndicate of female journalists working undercover and risking their lives to publish stories from inside Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.

Hear some extraordinary tales of resistance and courage in the sealed section of this episode (listener discretion advised). If you would like to help, consider a donation to support Zan Times. For reference, it costs between $300-$500/month to support a journalist in Afghanistan.
