"After a fiery exchange with young Afghan men at a seminar on sexual consent, she said she received a chilling phone call.
'A boy called [and said] your name has been given to the Taliban,' she said.
Ms Hussaini believed the men who had criticised her for promoting the importance of sexual consent had given them her name.
The person who called her anonymously said her plate number had also been given to the Taliban.
They said her vehicle was set to be stopped in the Jalrez district, at a known Taliban-controlled village, where she believes she likely would have been assassinated.
'I think he [the boy] told me maybe because he was part of the group [that informed the Taliban] and had a change of heart,' she said."
