    Center Promotes Female Journalism in Afghanistan

    A few months ago, the first Women’s Journalism Center was opened in Afghanistan’s western province of Herat. The center’s objective are to train female journalists and to help them find jobs in the growing media industry in Afghanistan. The center provides support and encouragement, and a place to learn and develop one’s journalism skills.
    According to an article recently published by the Afghan Women’s Writing Project online magazine, the center is in the “process of setting up a website and intends to hold practical courses for women journalists as well as establish a radio and television station for women journalists in Herat.”
    The idea for the center evolved from a journalism program established in Herat University eight years ago. While the establishment of the class took the first step towards helping women to enter the field of journalism, it didn’t lead to jobs for the women, because the support system was not there. The center is hoping to change that.
    The director of the center is Fawzia Fakhri, a newscaster for Radio Sahar, an all-women radio station.


    Hi, I am the source.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

    -Ferishta, 1560–1620

    isn't an afghan womens gatheirng the best centre for promotion of journalism? I mean, when Afghan women get together, all they do is talk about other people. Why in the world do we need another special place to promote more "journalism"?

    Sorry Jasmine..I couldn't help myself. I had to say it. It was just too easy.

        Scho schweet! If I was to ever be so fortunate to be a guest in your house, I wouldn't make you do things for me. It'd be a two way interview instead.
