DESCRIPTION:Prospects for Afghan Women and Non-Intervention In My Country\n\nMalalai 
 Joya, 35, first gained international attention in 2003 when she spoke out 
 publicly against the domination of warlords in Afghanistan. In 2005 she 
 became one of 68 women elected to the 249-seat National Assembly and was 
 the youngest member of the Afghan parliament.\n\nAn extraordinary young 
 woman raised in the refugee camps of Iran and Pakistan, Joya became a 
 teacher in secret girls’ schools, hiding her books under her burqa so the 
 Taliban couldn’t find them; she helped establish a free medical clinic 
 and orphanage in her impoverished home province of Farah.\n\nIn 2010, Time 
 Magazine placed Malalai Joya on their annual list of the 100 most 
 influential people in the world. Foreign Policy Magazine listed her in its 
 annual list of the Top 100 Global Thinkers. In March, 2011, The Guardian 
 listed her among the “Top 100 women activists and campaigners.”\n\nHer 
 widely praised book, “A Woman Among Warlords: The Extraordinary Story of 
 an Afghan Who Dared to Raise Her Voice,” was published 2009 by Scribner 
 in the U.S. Copies of her book will be available for purchase and signing 
 by Ms. Joya.\n\nContributions requested at the door.\n\nDonations to Afghan 
 Women’s Mission will also be requested.\n\n\nProgram Sponsored 
 By\nPeninsula Peace and Justice Center\nCo-Sponsored By\nPeace and Social 
 Action Committee of Palo Alto Friends Meeting\nand\nMultifaith Voices for 
 Peace and Justice\n\nNational Tour Organized By\nUnited National Antiwar 
 Coalition and Afghan Women’s Mission\n
