The 23-year-old hopes to empower other Afghan women to stand up for their rights
Fatima Haidari Despite decades of brutal war Afghanistan has kept its unique beauty and there are so many historical sites to explore, Fatima Haidari says from her home in the historical city of Herat.
The 23-year-old has made her mark as Afghanistan’s first and only female tour guide, in a bid to empower other Afghan women to stand up for their rights, and to lift the veil on the beauty of their country.
In 2020, despite the added pressures of Covid-19, Fatima led her first group of tourists around Herat’s highlights for adventure tour operator Untamed Borders.
