Before the fall of Kabul, photographer Fatimah Hossaini captured Afghan women to tell their story in a society with many restrictions.
Before the fall of Kabul in 2021, photographer Fatimah Hossaini captured Afghan women to tell their stories and spotlight their beauty. But after the Taliban returned to power, she had to leave.
Hossaini’s grandparents were forced to flee Afghanistan because of the Soviet invasion. She was born in Iran but faced discrimination there owing to her heritage. So after returning to her ancestral home, she concentrated her work on highlighting the “hidden beauty and strength” of Afghan women. “The subject matter was often taboo, but I persisted in shedding light on the lives of Afghan women through my lens.”. She says the return of the militant group felt like stepping back into the Middle Ages after two decades of progress.
