This edited/publishing project by the Fondiaria Sai Foundation has helped everyone involved to have a better understanding of Afghanistan thanks to the unconventional words and photos of the young journalists involved. If the lack of freedom prevents women from expressing their talent it will be evidenced in the stories written by our reporters. Their words and photos accompany us on a journey through Afghan women’s dreams, hopes and creativity. In 2010 during my mission in Afghanistan I realised that the first priority in such a country was to give voice to the women. Meeting these women covered by their burqa was an extraordinary experience. The thing that impressed me most was that despite their life under this very heavy piece of clothing – which allows them onlly a few inches of lhlight–all thhese women are stillll dldesperatelytrying to make themselves heard.

We would also like to acknowledge the many Afghans in the public and private sectors who met us for a very candid exchange of views, accomplishments, challenges and aspirations.
