and inspiring memoir by Afghanistan's youngest female mayor
and campaigner for human rights.I am one of the lucky ones.I
got out of Afghanistan alive when the Taliban retook the
country. Millions of others did not - they are now living under
one of the world's most repressive regimes, with any progress
that was made for women over the past twenty years being
brutally reversed.Every day, I yearn for my motherland. Now it
is my duty to make sure that the world knows what is
happening to women there, and what we must do tochange
things for them.Zarifa Ghafari was three years old when the
Taliban banned girls from schools, and she began her
education in secret. She was seven when American airstrikes
began. She was twenty-six when she became mayor - the only
female mayor in the country - of Maidan Wardak, Kabul. An

extremist mob barred her from her office her male staff walked
out in protest assassins tried to kill her six times. Finally, they
killed their father. Ghafari stood her ground. She ended
corruption in the province, promoted peace and tried to lift up
women, despite constant fear for herself and her family. When
the Taliban took Kabul in 2021, Ghafari had to flee, narrowly
escaping the country on one of the last flights out of Kabul and
finding refuge in Germany.Zarifa is an astonishing memoir that
offers an unparalleled perspective of the last two decades in
Afghanistan. Written with honesty, pain and ultimately, hope,
Ghafari describes the work she did, the women she still tries to
help as they live under Taliban rule and her vision for how
grassroots activism can change their lives and the lives of
women everywhere.
