RADIO FREE EUROPE/ RADIO LIBERTY: Afghanistan: Woman Named International Editor Of The Year: "During the rule of the Taliban, Barekzai helped run underground schools for women in Afghanistan. Several months after the fall of the fundamentalist regime, she founded 'Aina-e Zan.' The weekly publication, run by women, focuses on the development of women's rights. It raises awareness about women's issues in the deeply conservative and patriarchal society of Afghanistan. Produced in Dari and Pashto, 'Aina-e Zan' covers a variety of topics -- from education, health, and Islam to beauty and cooking. It is distributed in 12 provinces of Afghanistan. "
