As an adult, she witnessed the Taliban\u2019s return to power in 2021 before being forced to flee Afghanistan. Zahra Joya is one of Afghanistan\u2019s most renowned journalists and the founder of Rukhshana Media, an independent news organisation dedicated to amplifying the voices and stories of Afghan women. Zahra Joya has recently published her memoir, <em>The Vanishing Girl of Kabul<\/em>, a powerful account of her life and her homeland, as well as a warning about the consequences of denying women their fundamental rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Zahra Joya,<\/strong> An Afghan journalist living in exile in London, founder of Rukhshana Media, one of Afghanistan\u2019s first news agencies dedicated to women\u2019s stories, and author of *The Vanishing Girl of Kabul*.
