A journalist now living in exile in London, Zahra Joya tells her own story of survival, resistance and betrayal about life under the Taliban.
As a girl in Kabul in the 1990s, she disguised herself as a boy to go to school. The US-led invasion changed everything, and Zahra dared to imagine a future. Then, in 2021, the Taliban returned, and decades of hard-won progress vanished overnight – women were erased from public life, and the West’s promises collapsed into silence.
‘Joya’s story will leave you angry but also awed that in this painful history there’s still profound hope.’
