Afghan media has played a vital role in building Afghanistan's democracy but is increasingly targeted by the Taliban, which views it as an arm of the state.
The allegations were never proven “false," but there was also no evidence that the Taliban harmed any women during the raid on Kunduz.
According to the RSF, “there have been at least 45 cases of violence against journalists and the media in Afghanistan since the start of the year, including threats, physical violence and destruction of media outlets. AFJC data was even higher, with a total of "92 cases of violence, including 20 fatal cases against journalists and media workers .
Although Afghan media has rightfully won its categorisation as “the Gem of modern Afghanistan,” it is impossible not to recognise where Afghan and international media bodies have failed.
