In 2022, I joined The Walrus thanks to a special partnership with Journalists for Human Rights for media professionals who had recently fled Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. In my time with The Walrus, I worked closely with the editorial team on a story about my journey to Canada as well as this new feature about the current state of my former country.
Since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan, they have tried to use platforms such as X to gain legitimacy both inside and outside the country. At a time when much of the world’s attention has shifted away from Afghanistan, it’s important to understand how the Taliban operate—and how the international community can continue to support ordinary Afghans.
When you donate to The Walrus, you support opportunities for journalists like me who come from countries where freedom of expression and women’s rights are severely repressed. And your contributions have gone even further by allowing The Walrus to translate my story into Dari so that readers in Afghanistan can have access to my reporting.
Will you help The Walrus share more of these stories?
