Kaaj is founded and led by Farahnaz Forotan, one of Afghanistan’s most prominent political journalists and a historic trailblazer who shattered gender barriers as the first woman to anchor high-stakes political interviews in a fiercely male-dominated arena.

Our vision is anchored and elevated by an International Advisory Board and a Board of Directors—an elite circle of global leaders, diplomats, human rights defenders, and media pioneers. Bound together with our brave underground network of female reporters inside Afghanistan, we ensure that no restriction can bury the truth, and no regime can erase the voices of Afghan women.
