Zan Times is an Afghan women-led digital newsroom that reports on human rights situation in Afghanistan with a focus on women and LGBTQ issues. Zan Times is a registered non-profit organization, based in Canada.[1][2][3]
Zan Times works with a team of mostly women journalists based in Afghanistan and in exile. It produces and publishes original investigations, feature reports, first hand narratives, and opinion pieces in Farsi-Dari and English.[4]
History edit
It was established by a group mostly women journalists and writers in August 2022 one year after the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan to report on the repression of women’s rights.[5]
The seed funding came from personal savings of Zahra Nader, who is the founding editor-in-chief of Zan Times.[6]"We want to be the voice of marginalized and underprivileged segments of the [Afghan] society," she told Voice of America in a 2024 interview.[7]
Ever since, Zan Times has been reporting on focusing on women and LGBTQI+ rights, and documenting the Taliban’s gender policies that has been described as "gender persecution and an institutionalized framework of gender apartheid"[8] by UN human rights experts.[9][10]
Major reports edit
Zan Times has produced several major investigative reports, which were picked up and reported on by other news outlets and widely shared and discussed on social media.
In October 2022, Zan Times reported on the Taliban’s murder of women activists in Mazar-e-Sharif as the regime cracked down on women’s protests.
A Zan Times fact-checking investigative report on Zarifa Ghafari, the former mayor of Maidan Shahr , which demonstrated major inconsistencies in the life story she has presented to Western audiences. The report, “Who is the real Zarifa Ghafari?” was published in June 2023.
In August 2023, a Zan Times investigation into the rise of female suicide in Afghanistan, which was published in partnership with the Fuller Project and the Guardian.
Public Afghan Women's Archive edit
With financial support from the Centre for Information Resilience’s Afghan Witness project, Zan Time launched an archive documenting violence against socially and politically active women. The archive so far documented 49 cases of violence against women. These cases include 34 arrests, one disappearance, and 14 murders of women[11][12].
Awards edit
In November 2023, Zan Times was recognized as one of the “21 Leaders for the 21st Century” by Women’s eNews at its 23rd Annual Gala in New York City[13]
A 2023 Zan Times investigative report into the rise of suicide for young women in Afghanistan, was nominated for a One World Media print award.[14]
The same Zan Times report into the rise of suicide for young women in Afghanistan has become a finalist in the Canadian Association of Journalists finalists for 2023's top investigative journalism awards[15]
