Radio Begum
Radio Begum is an Afghan women’s radio station launched on International Women’s Day in March 2021, aiming to empower women by providing a platform for their voices and stories. The station produces content entirely created by Afghan women and represents a significant effort to promote women's rights and education in a challenging political climate. Following the Taliban's seizure of power, the station faced a suspension but has recently had its broadcasts resumed after making commitments to align with the Taliban's regulations. Its sister channel, Begum TV, operates from France and focuses on delivering educational content to Afghan students, particularly in a landscape where women's education is heavily restricted.
