\u00abThe war in Afghanistan is not \u201cours\u201d. For decades, that conflict has been caused by interference by foreign intelligence services. The superpowers are fighting for their dominion\u00bb<\/em>, says the author of \u00ab\u00abZarifa, a woman's battle in a man's world\u00bb<\/em><\/strong>, published by Solferino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To remain in one's own country risking one's life or to choose the path of exile?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the dramatic choice faced by many Afghans, especially women, after the return to power of the Taliban, in August 2021. Escape was possible for those who had contacts in the West and they were, above all, women known for their political and social commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zarifa Ghafari managed to leave Kabul and found asylum in Germany, where she lives today. Appointed mayor of Maidan Shar, a very conservative city, in 2018, at just 24 years old, she had to struggle for nine months before being able to hold the position, due to the violent opposition of the ultraconservatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has been listed as one of the 100 most influential women worldwide. In 2020, Ghafari was awarded the International Woman of Courage Award. International Woman of Courage<\/em> nel 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ghafari is a symbol of resilience and courage, so much so that she has been listed among the 100 most influential women worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ghafari is not only a symbol of resilience and courage, but also a beacon of hope for many Afghan women. Her work as a mayor and her fight for women's rights in Afghanistan have had a significant impact, not only in her city of Maidan Shar, but throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the threats and violence she endured, Ghafari never backed down. She continued to fight for justice and equality, demonstrating exceptional strength of character and determination. Her story is an example of how it is possible to resist and fight for one's rights, even in extreme situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her courage and determination have been recognized internationally. In 2020, Ghafari received the International Woman of Courage Award, an accolade that honors women who have demonstrated exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for peace, human rights, gender equality, and the empowerment of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Ghafari lives in exile in Germany, but she continues to be an important voice for women's rights in Afghanistan. Despite the challenges, she has never stopped hoping for a better future for her country. \"The war in Afghanistan is not 'ours',\" she stated, highlighting how the conflict has been fueled by foreign interference. Yet, despite everything, she remains hopeful that peace can one day return to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
