A Woman Among Warlords

Saturday November 7, 2009 3:45pm
SJSU Engineering Auditorium

Malalai Joya has been called the bravest woman in Afghanistan. Elected to the Afghan parliament in 2003 and 2005, she was suspended in 2007 for challenging the presence of warlords in the Afghan parliment. She has been compared to the symbol of Burma’s democracy movement, Aung San Suu Kyi.

Malalai Joya will talk about her memoir: ” A Woman Among Warlords: The Extraordinary Story of An Afghan Who Dared Raise Her Voice”.
