About Her Afghanistan: When Words Become Walls

Since the Taliban returned to power in August 2021, Afghan women and girls have been pushed out of schools, workplaces, and public life. Unfortunately, social media, the only sphere left to them, is indeed one of the most hateful spaces to ever exist. Afghan women activists are increasingly being closed off social media due to hate comments, calling them fake and unreligious.

Her Afghanistan: When Words Become Walls is a weekly journal that documents that hate speech. Formed in individual series, we document and combat hate speech.

How the journal works

Entries are published weekly in series. We started off with an introductory series on examining what hate speech is and what steps we can take. We will dedicate future series to either specific policies or case studies.

Who writes it
