The Campaign of “Unveiling Afghanistan, the Voices of Progress” was started in mid 2013 with the goal of recording views and opinions of political, social and cultural dignitaries of Afghanistan on the eve of 2014 election campaigns. In this campaign, Armanshahr Foundation sought to interview dignitaries who have played a role in shaping and influencing what is known as the unofficial history of Afghanistan. All the interviews were intertwined with human rights and women’s issues. The questions began with biography and developed to human rights and subsequently women’s issues. The final questions were concerned with the personal aspects of involvement and commitment to human rights.
The interviews were serially published in daily 8 Sobh, website of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), the US newspaper the Huffington Post and social networks. A number of Armanshahr Foundation colleagues were involved in editing and publishing the interviews. The campaign was spread over the span of one year and a half.
