Aryana Sayeed Challenged

Aryana Sayeed is considered the Queen of Afghan music and she’s an idol for many people, especially young Afghan women. She is loved not only because of her musical talent, but because of her self-proclamation as a humanitarian and philanthropist for Afghanistan. Although her art spoke to many of us in the past, her devotion to the people has been called into question in the present. Despite taking on her usual role as a voice for Afghanistan and Afghan women, Aryana hesitated to use her platform as a successful and powerful Afghan musician to highlight one of the most prevalent problems in the Afghan community...domestic violence.

Om Podcasten

This podcast is dedicated to the women of Afghanistan and serves to strike a dialogue about some of the taboos in Afghan culture. Despite the common knowledge that women have faced varying forms of oppression in our community, the subject or domestic violence is still considered to be taboo amongst Afghans. We hope that by sharing the stories of survivors, we can continue the conversation on DV in Afghan homes, so our community may begin to heal together. We will also share the narratives of trailblazing Afghan women who have left an impact on society in Afghanistan and anywhere else in the world. We hope that our episodes will spark new ambitions among our listeners and ultimately eliminate the silence on important issues that serve as a barrier to our success.
