An Afghan who dared to raise her voice
Malalai Joya will be speaking at All Saint's Church in Pasadena, Nov. 6.
On 2005, at the age of 27, Malalai Joya was elected as the youngest member of the Afghan Parliament. Today at age 30 she has survived five assassination attempts and is arguably one of the most controversial political figures in Afghanistan. Her new book, A Woman Among the Warlords, is an account of how she risked her life by denouncing the powerful warlords in her country. Joya joins Larry Mantle to talk about the truth members of the Afghan leadership concealed and what it cost her to speak out against them.
Guest:
Malalai Joya, author of “A Woman Among Warlords: The Extraordinary Tale of an Afghan Who Dared to Raise Her Voice” (Scribner); member of Parliament of Afghanistan
