    For 4 years, I've been traveling the world recording oral histories from Afghans and Americans who lived through the war in Afghanistan. 450 hours of interviews. 15+ countries. Full life histories—not just what people did, but who they were before and after. On April 9th,

    Afghan women accomplished so much in sports during the last 20 years but now they can't even train properly. This heartbreaking photo series by @EbrahimNoroozi1 shows how the Taliban regime have relegated these athletes to the shadows of Afghan society.

    It is a historic day when an Afghan woman is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Women’s rights activist, Ms. Mahbouba Seraj is a finalist for the prestigious prize and I wish her luck in the selection process! At a time when millions of Afghan women are oppressed & their basic

    As an Afghan, I grew up hearing all Russians vilified and called evil. Until my early teens when I learned that most govts don't represent their people and average people all over the world have more in common than we think. This photo is a reminder of our shared humanity

    Taliban Minister of Edu quoted saying that according to Sharia, girls should only be educated up to the 6th grade. After that schooling causes bad behavior (fisat). Can you show me where it says this in the Quran? Never seen this but have seen many references to education for all

    Afghan women who led protests in various provinces this week are reporting that they are being hunted down by Taliban and threatened. Families are receiving calls from TB. This has to STOP. We need more attention and pressure on this issue.

    At least 2 killed and 7 wounded during Herat's protest (led by women) today. Those who went to the hospital to visit the wounded were apprehended by the Taliban. Many protestors had their mobile phones confiscated. Many forms of #Resistance, especially #feministresistance in AF

    Sharbat Gul was fetishized and objectified by Nat Geo and the west. The world was to be shocked because such an exotic girl could be found in Afghanistan but lived in poverty and war. She never agreed to be the face of any of it. Please don't do the same to this young girl.

    As I document the time of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan as an oral historian at Stanford University, I am reminded of my own journey and archive of that time. In this photo, we were walking out from the big tent of the Emergency Loya Jirga on the campus of the Kabul
