Payam-e-Zan is a women's magazine published in Afghanistan by the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA). Literally translated, the name means "Women's Message." It began as a quarterly publication in Persian/Pushto and Urdu that focused on women's rights and opposing fundamentalism with strong socialist leanings. Over time, it became a major source for news on politics and society more generally. It is now an online magazine as part of www.rawa.org.
