Malalai Joya, Afghan woman activist and suspended parliamentarian, spoke at Western Washington University on Nov. 12, 2009.
Joya, who was the youngest member of the Afghan Parliament elected in the 2005 elections, was subsequently suspended from parliament for labeling it full of warlords. Her memoir,"A Woman Among Warlords," provides a true picture of young Afghans going through the occupation, the troubles of refugee camps and the feelings of these people towards those warlords who are once again ruling and not giving chance to the new generation to come forward and control their destiny.
