This #IWD, we’re highlighting some of the great women journalists in the ICFJ network. Independent journalist @soul_restlesss is based in Kashmir. Much of her work explores issues of gender and how it intersects with health, conflict, social justice & human rights. #BreakTheBias 
Nabi has written for @guardian, @techreview, @vice, @AJEnglish & more. Her stories are built around strong female characters, but she also writes about her culture and community, which she sees as a way to preserve her heritage. #IWD #BreakTheBias
“We [Kashmiris] are an ethnic group and we come from a minority background. We need to preserve our history, our language, and our cultural roots,” she said in a recent @IJNet interview: ijnet.org/en/story/journ… #IWD #BreakTheBias
Nabia also explained how women journalists are struggling in Asia. “In Kashmir, we don’t even have a women's journalism association or a union. I think if we all come together collectively... [we will be able to] be that support system for each other when in trouble.”
In that same interview, Nabi also noted the importance of media organizations and publications supporting and inspiring young women to become journalists. To read more about @soul_restlesss, read her Journalist of the Month profile on @IJNet: ijnet.org/en/story/journ…
