“Ich appelliere an alle Frauen…” (“I appeal to all women…”) | WOZ Die Wochenzeitung

“Ich appelliere an alle Frauen…”, written in Dari by Paranda writer Noor, was translated into German by Bianca Gackstatter and published by WOZ Die Wochenzeitung—a Swiss, German-language weekly newspaper based in Zürich—as part of a female authors in Afghanistan series.

The short story follows an influencer posing with weapons in an Afghan national park; a social scientist downplaying patriarchal oppression, and questions why Western women are suddenly publicly propagating the Taliban regime?
