Join Libby Davies, MP (Vancouver East) and Mable Elmore, MLA (Vancouver Kensington) for lunch and discussion with Malalai Joya, renowned Afghani Member of Parliament and Women's Rights Activist.
Malalai Joya has been called "the bravest woman in Afghanistan." At a constitutional assembly in Kabul in 2003, she stood up ...and denounced her country's powerful NATO-backed warlords. She was twenty-five years old. Two years later, she became the youngest person elected to Afghanistan's new Parliament. In 2007, she was suspended from Parliament for her persistent criticism of the warlords and drug barons and their cronies. She has survived four assassination attempts to date, is accompanied at all times by armed guards, and sleeps only in safe houses.
Often compared to democratic leaders such as Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi, this extraordinary young woman was raised in the refugee camps of Iran and Pakistan. Inspired in part by her father's activism, Malalai became a teacher in secret girls' schools, holding classes in a series of basements. She hid her books under her burqua so the Taliban couldn't find them. She also helped establish a free medical clinic and orphanage in her impoverished home province of Farah.
Tickets are extremely limited, and the 2007 Malalai Joya luncheon sold out in no time, so reserve your tickets early by contacting Phyllis in Libby's office at (604) 775-5800 or by email at daviel1@parl.gc.ca. Tickets are only $20. Proceeds to support Malalai Joya's humanitarian projects. Read More
