Dear friends,

A year after the Taliban took power, RSF published an exclusive study, revealing the chaos in which the Afghan media landscape is plunged today.

Afghan journalism has suffered a real slaughter. More than half of the journalists have been forced to stop working, especially female journalists who have completely disappeared in large parts of the country. Three out of four media professionals have lost their jobs.

Media and journalists are being subjected to iniquitous regulations that restrict media freedom and open the way to repression and persecution, amid a deep economic crisis.

Since the fall of Kabul on 15 August 15 2021, RSF helped to evacuate more than 200 Afghan journalists in danger and implemented hundreds of emergency administrative and financial support actions for them.

Many journalists are still in serious danger in Afghanistan and need help. Support RSF to give us the opportunity to fight alongside them.
