Klappentext
When the Taliban first ruled Afghanistan in the 1990s, Zahra Joya disguised herself as a boy simply to attend school. After the US-led invasion, her world transformed. Education, opportunity and freedom flourished. Like many Afghans, Zahra dared to believe in a future. She became a journalist and established her own media company to tell the stories of Afghan women.
Then, in 2021, the Taliban returned. Decades of hard-won progress vanished overnight. Women were erased from public life once again, and the promises made by the West collapsed into silence.
The Vanishing Girl of Kabul is Zahra's powerful story of survival, resistance and betrayal. Co-written with award-winning journalist Amie Ferris-Rotman, a longtime friend of both Zahra and Afghanistan, the book blends the intimacy of memoir with the urgency of investigative reporting. The Vanishing Girl of Kabul exposes the brutal realities of gender-based oppression - not only in Afghanistan, but around the world.
Now living in exile in London, Zahra refuses to be silent. This book is her clarion call, a warning to a world too willing to look away.
