Our Activities
In the last two decades, stories, poetry and all forms of literature have found both audiences and
creators in Afghanistan. Many festivals were held, works published and art created. After the arrival of Taliban, the literary vitality and writing has severely stagnated as the majority of poets and writers were expulsed from the country.
“The Golden Needle Literary Association” has kept this field alive by organizing creative writing classes for girls inside Afghanistan. Besides teaching classes, we have held memoir writing competitions and offered awards at national level, which helped us to discover new talents and motivated girls to write.
