If you’re looking for a powerful read this summer, Escape from Kabul by journalist Karen Bartlett will be released in North America on August 5, 2025. It tells the real-life stories of Afghan women judges who were forced to flee for their lives after the fall of Kabul in 2021.
With support from the International Association of Women Judges, this book brings their voices and experiences to light. It offers an important look at the risks judges can face around the world and the strength of the global judicial community in standing up for justice and the rule of law.
