Afghan female journalists are facing increasing challenges under Taliban rule, including job losses and restrictions on their work. Despite these hardships, many, like Yalda Jahangira, are finding ways to continue their journalistic careers and advocate for their rights through organizations like the Afghan Women Journalists Association.
The current state of media in Afghanistan has seen a significant decline in female journalists, with over 80% ceasing their work since the Taliban's return to power. While some media outlets have closed, others remain operational, albeit under strict regulations that limit the freedoms of female journalists.
Despite the oppressive environment, there are signs of resilience among Afghan women in journalism, as some have returned to work and are adapting to the new realities, showcasing their determination to continue their contributions to the media landscape.
