Protect Journalists Under Threat in Afghanistan

Project Report | Nov 30, 2021
In Solidarity with Afghan Journalists

By Agnes Chen | Senior Private Development Associate

Thank you for your generous contribution to support Afghan journalists in this humanitarian crisis.

For decades, Internews worked alongside Afghan media entrepreneurs as they fostered a vibrant media sector that, at its height, employed thousands of women, reached every province large and small, and became one of the most trusted institutions in the country. Together with partners and friends like you, we have taken the steps to:

  • Support the asylum process for those at risk, through direct support and advocacy.
  • Support quality content production for media outlets under threat.
  • Counter mis/disinformation amongst communities whose channels to reliable, accurate information are compromised.
  • Provide digital security for vulnerable journalists in and outside of the country.
  • Track violations on journalists and other efforts to undermine the free press.
  • Improve media partners' organizational and technical capacity and long-term sustainability.

For twenty years, the Afghan media community has inspired us with their resilience and resolve to provide life-saving information to those in most need—no matter the challenge or cost. Our heartfelt thanks for your collective support and solidarity, as we continue to champion the sector now and into the future.
