Aurore Saccagi and Morane Verhoeven, two research analysts from the Centre for Youth and International Studies’ (CYIS) Humanitarian Dimension, interview this wonderful and inspiring woman as part of a podcast series on the Afghan Peace talks. We talk about how she experienced multiple barriers as a girl in Afghanistan, why she got into politics, and how women’s participation in politics is an essential keystone for sustainable peace in a country that has been torn apart by war for over four decades.
