On Creating a Safe and Just Afghanistan
Join a timely conference call with Sakena Yacoobi, a
remarkable activist for women’s education in Afghanistan and current
Global Fund for Women board member. We are pleased to present the
opportunity to talk with Sakena and learn about her extraordinary work
to make education and health services a reality for over 350,000 women
and girls in Afghanistan.
Sakena’s work comes at a time when adult literacy is below 29% for
men and 23% for women. Girls’ school enrolment rates are almost half
that of boys. Sakena will share the stories, the hope, and the
challenges of creating a safe and just Afghanistan.
