Nadia Ghulam Dastgir was born in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1985. Her life, like many other Afghan women, has been marked by the consequences of a cruel civil war, hunger and the Taliban regime. But these adversities couldn’t stop her and Nadia managed to move forward thanks to her ingenuity and courage, passing herself as a boy for ten years in order to feed her family.

It was her sociable character that brought her to collaborate with an N.G.O., through which she arrived in Catalonia, her new home. Now, finally, she can do everything that she always wanted to do: live in full freedom and continue studying and training to help her country and her own family.

When fully settled in Spain, Nadia wanted to explain her story, and she did so with the collaboration of the journalist Agnès Rotger in the novel “The secret of my turban” (Edicions 62, 2010). The book won the prestigious prize Prudenci Bertrana, 2010 and achieved national critical acclaim.

Through the piece of documentary theatre, with her own name, Nadia, as the title and under the direction of Carles Fernández Giua, a wide public audience has seen very intimate and personal details of her difficult life in Kabul during the worst years of the war. This piece of theatre has achieved great success and continues to be performed in both Spain and abroad.

It should be also mentioned, that Nadia published, together with Joan Soler i Amigó, the book, Tales That Healed Me (Columna, 2014), a beautiful compilation of stories that her mother told her in the hospital during her period of convalescence following the injuries she received from the bomb that changed her life.


Finally, this year, 2016, Nadia published, in conjunction with Javier Dieguez her second novel, The First Star of the Night (Plaza & Janés, 2016). It is a novel based on real life, recounting the daily lives of Afghan women who are fighters, in a country that has suffered armed conflicts , one after another for more than 40 years.

Your edits to Nadia Ghulam[edit]

Ekhlas12, thank you for starting the article on Nadia Ghulam, but please stop replacing the text with your preferred version. Most recently, by again replacing the text with something with no references, you almost caused it to be deleted, because it is a biography of a living person and those require references. I have just expanded it and provided sources, and now that I look at the history, I see that I originally translated it in 2014 from your Catalan text and added sources, and that I later had to again fix it after you had removed parts of it, and someone else in 2016 had to revert to a sourced version because you had replaced the article with unsourced text. User:Liz did not realise the article had previously had sources, and it would probably have been deleted if I had not seen that she had nominated it for deletion. Please, stop replacing the text. I am sure your intentions are good, but you are making the article worse, not better. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:28, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
