A network that helped people trying to flee Afghanistan

After the fall of Kabul, exactly three years ago today, the lives of many women and activists in Afghanistan were in peril as the Taliban took over. This is the story of how journalists, diplomats and aid workers around the world formed a network to support them. It was called Digital Dunkirk. The World’s Shirin Jaafari was a part of this network and tells the story.
