On #Afghan women in TIME: "The world should not see us as victims begging for their support; women have been consistent & loyal partner for international community for last 20 years. We have never changed our position no matter how hard the situation has gotten" - W/@FroghWazhma

Women defining resilience and courage. And facing the unknown up ahead.

On #Afghanistan from Afghanistan

“I have dedicated my life to this work, & I love trying to raise the voice of those that are voiceless,” Nargis Nehan said. “If I have helped someone, that means more to me than having a comfortable day, that is why I am staying." On #Afghanistan in TIME time.com/6087101/women-…

On #Afghanistan:

On #Afghanistan from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency

On #Afghanistan: "The families said they "lost everything” in the war. Every family has its own bitter story of the ongoing violence that has overwhelmed the country." tolonews.com/afghanistan-17…

On women who have fought for their nation's future - and their own:

Kamila story is 1st book I had privilege of writing, "Dressmaker of Khair Khana." I think of the women I interviewed on life under Taliban. And how different their view was from international men who worked at NGOs, UN, etc. "They stole my future from me" one young woman told me.

From Afghanistan

Afghanistan is a nation filled with young people working to decipher their futures amid true fear. A country with young women & young men whose lives show that the quest for human dignity does not stop at the Afghan border. Thinking of them as they think through what to do next.

From Afghanistan on Afghanistan

I think of women I interviewed in Kabul on life under Taliban in 1990s for my 1st book. And how different their view was from international men I met who worked with global NGOs, UN, etc. "They stole my future from me," a young woman said in our meeting. "They took my education."

This is a question asked in Syria. Now, urgently, asked in Afghanistan. With best thoughts, Orzala🇦🇫 اورځلا ✨🔥

The book shares story of a young #entrepreneur whose business created jobs and hope for families around her community during Taliban rule. Today so many brave girls were stepping up to lead their communities. Now they are trying to figure out how to survive until they can flee.

I wrote this for The Washington Post. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

Kamila is truly a remarkable person. And her story runs in parallel to that of her beloved #Afghanistan.

Amazing and moving. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…

Researched 1st book at Afghanistan Center at Kabul University (ACKU) Found notes from Taliban 1st meeting w/ NGOs in '96 when group swept Kabul. Sought UN seat, issued rules: no high heels, mandated burqa, no laughing on street. No women out w/o male chaperone. Now comes 2021. Same discussions now lie up ahead.
