An important public meeting in Adelaide
The Future for Women in Afghanistan
With the Taliban gone,
is there any real freedom or safety
for Afghan women?
Speaker: Tahmeena Faryal Senior Spokesperson for the Revolutionary
Association of Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) Exiled in Pakistan,
Faryal is the heroic young woman who, a few years ago, secretly
filmed a Taliban execution of women (for supposed crimes against
"public morality"). This film footage dramatically alerted the world
to the plight of Afghan women, a plight that grinds on under the
warlords of the Northern Alliance. RAWA continues to organise
underground activities for the advancement and rights of women.
Come and hear firsthand the courageous resistance of the women of
Afghanistan.
