Help Afghanistan’s Free Press Remain Alive

Since the Taliban takeover in August 2021, independent media in Afghanistan has been under siege. Journalists have faced threats, and violence, and are forced into exile. Yet, Etilaatroz Newspaper, Afghanistan's largest and most influential independent outlet, continues to inform and empower the people.

However, to continue its independent journalism, Etilaatroz needs your support.

For well over a decade, especially in the last three years, Etilaatroz has been a trusted source of objective, credible, and rigorous reporting and analysis for the people of Afghanistan. Access to reliable information is now more paramount than ever before as the Taliban continue to limit the flow of information and critical debate.

Our work has helped hold the Taliban accountable for their actions. A team of courageous journalists, men and women, risk their lives every day to document the Taliban actions, human rights violations, and their oppression of the Afghan people, especially marginalized groups such as women and minoritized ethnolinguistic communities. Their work exposes the Taliban’s exploitative policies, discriminatory practices, forced displacement, land seizures, and the brutal treatment of civilians.

Our journalists are fighting for more than just a free press. They are fighting for Afghanistan's future. They stand as a beacon of truth and hope against tyranny and amid despair to ensure that Afghans have a voice.

Your support helps prevent a media blackout and empowers millions of Afghans with the information they need.

We hope you donate and follow our coverage of Afghanistan.
