But she continues to run Rukhshana Media from exile in London, relying on a brave group of women reporting underground in Afghanistan.\n\"The Vanishing Girl of Kabul\" is a tale of resilience and profound courage as Afghan women continue to resist the Taliban's system of gender apartheid. \nBuy \"The Vanishing Girl of Kabul\" here.\nThe Vanishing Girl of Kabul a book by Zahra Joya\nRukshana Media: https://rukhshana.com/en/ \nAmie's website: https://www.amieferrisrotman.com/ \nThe Proximities newsletter: https://www.proximities.news/ \nBarry is on X here: https://x.com/malonebarry And on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/malonebarry/ ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ayVaNqaoaf-ceqTs_nC5UqRES6ZeKZqDhmAOKDHcv5Y/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNDlm/M2ZjOTM4OTg3NzVi/NDVhMjQ4YmY1YTYz/MDdhNi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
