Our Projects

Set up in early 2021 by a team of Afghan female journalists and social activists, Radio Begum is a women’s radio network broadcasting 24/7 from Kabul and Ghazni and already covering several provinces of the country including Kabul, Logar, Ghazni, Parwan, Baghlan and Bamyan.

Radio Begum is a militant project, conceived and developed by women for women. “Our editorial policy is clear, explains Hamida who initiated the project: empower and educate Afghan women; and defend their rights. Radio Begum’s programs are conceived and designed to fulfill this mission.”
