"If the international community and the UN want to be useful, let the women of Afghanistan directly talk to the Taliban.
This is something that the leaders of the gender-apartheid regime fear the most."

Fawzia Koofi.

I always need a minute when I hear that name.

She's described in the article above as an Afghan human rights activist. There's nothing wrong with this description. It is a fair summary of who she is right now.

The part that I can't get my head round is that 3 years ago she was the Vice President of Afghanistan.
