Women's Rights, Warlords, and the U.S. Occupation of Afghanistan
Abstract:
Malalai Joya was an elected representative to the December 2003 Loya Jirga (Grand
Council) convention in Kabul to create Afghanistan's new constitution. At that meeting
she stood up to denounce the prominent presence of warlords in the constitutional
process. Despite death threats, she went on to be elected from her native
Farah province to the Wolusi Jirga, the House of Representatives of the new Afghan
parliament.
