A Conversation with First Lady of Afghanistan Rula Ghani
Featuring
* H.E. Rula Ghani, First Lady of Afghanistan
Moderated by:
* Earl Anthony Wayne, Senior Adviser (Non-Resident), CSIS
Please join us on November 15th for an armchair conversation with the First Lady of Afghanistan Rula Ghani.
Women in Afghanistan have made great economic and social strides in the past 15 years. Under the Taliban, no girls were allowed to go to school, now there are more than 3.6 million girls are in school and women are allowed to work, both of which are essential to peace and stability in Afghanistan. However, the work is not over. It is vital that the progress continues and that women are not forgotten in the search for peace.
CSIS is pleased to host the First Lady Rula Ghani, who has been a champion on these issues. H.E. Rula Ghani plays an active role as first lady, supporting efforts to fully integrate women and girls into Afghan society and into the workforce. In May 2016, she brought together prominent Afghan women from Kabul and gave them a platform to discuss women’s roles in contributing to peace. She held another symposium in 2017 to discuss the role of Afghan women as messengers of peace.
This event is made possible by general support to CSIS.
