"Last month marked the third anniversary of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement
in Iran, an uprising that has been described as the country’s most significant
movement since the establishment of the Islamic Republic.
Though authoritarian powers and patriarchal systems continue to oppress, women
journalists in the Middle East have combined reporting and activism. Many of
these professionals operate under regimes that criminalize dissent. For them,
reporting isn’t just a profession, it merges with acts of resistance.
Across the region, journalists like Egypt’s Lina Attalah, who continues to
publish investigative reports despite state repression, and Yemen’s Afrah
Nasser, whose exile hasn’t silenced her voice, act as catalysts for change,
using their platforms to amplify marginalized voices, challenge oppressive
systems and mobilize communities in liberation-focused movements.
Through the years, their work has gone far beyond reporting news and has become
a vital force for truth, justice and social transformation in the region."
