Afghan journalist explains her escape from Taliban after restrictions on women in broadcasting
Censorship, threats, and tightening restrictions made it impossible for journalist Tahmina Usmani to continue working freely or safely in Afghanistan.
Tahmina Usmani, an Afghan journalist, fled the Taliban after the restrictions on women in broadcasting were imposed. Initially, she worked at Noor TV and later joined TOLOnews, becoming one of the first female anchors to return after the Taliban took control. Usmani appeared on air with her face covered, reflecting the new dress code imposed by Taliban authorities. She later moved to Pakistan, then to France, where she is studying human rights and humanitarian action to continue her advocacy in exile.
