An Afghan diplomat in India, who said she was the only woman in the country’s diplomatic service, resigned from her role on Saturday, according to DW.
In a statement posted to X, formerly Twitter, Zakia Wardak wrote that she “faced waves of organized attacks aimed at destroying” her.

Wardak said the attacks have impacted her ability to work and have “demonstrated the challenges faced by women in Afghan society who strive to modernize and bring positive changes amidst ongoing propaganda campaigns.”

“It has become increasingly clear that the public narrative is unfairly targeting the only female representative within this system,” she wrote in the statement.
