Zahra Joya Thank you for being brave and resilient! Your story reflects the suffering of millions of Afghans, especially women and girls, but also gives them hope at the same time.

“They are denying millions of girls an education, an opportunity to work or to travel outside the house. They are trying to eradicate us completely.”-Zahra Joya

I spoke to Zahra Joya about Rukshona Media, the outlet she founded in Afghanistan and kept going even as she had to flee for Internews ahead of #WorldPressFreedomDay . Its a story of the sheer courage and grit journalists need to just do their jobs.

An honour to interview Zahra Joya about her life working as an Afghan journalist in exile and the passion and pain of running Rukhshana Media telling the stories of the women and girls she left behind in Afghanistan as part of our series marking World Press Freedom day this week.
Supporting journalists in exile also means supporting their families. The UK - a founder member of the Media Freedom Coalition - can and should do better than this. The world needs journalists like Zahra Joya and Britain should be doing more to help them and their families.
“They are trying to eradicate us completely” says Zahra Joya of the Taliban and women in a deeply moving interview ahead of #WorldPressFreedomDay tomorrow. Zahra is remarkable in her determination to ensure stories from Afghanistan are heard by the world. theguardian.com/global-develop…
The indefatigable Zahra Joya runs her Afghan newsroom Rukhshana Media from exile - and their determination to plough on in the face of constant threats is beyond admirable. But nightmares stalk her as her family in Pakistan face deportation theguardian.com/global-develop…
