Raising my Voice: The extraordinary story of the Afghan woman who dares to speak out
Malalai JoyaMedium Paperback
Library stamp on the front page
Malalai Joya is the youngest and most famous female MP in Afghanistan, whose bravery and vision have won her an international following. She made world headlines with her very first speech, in which she courageously denounced the presence of warlords in the new Afghan government. She has spoken out for justice ever since, and for the rights of women in the country she loves. "Raising My Voice" shares her extraordinary story. Born during the Russian invasion and spending her youth in refugee camps, Malalai Joya describes how she first became a political activist. When she returned to Afghanistan, the country was under the grip of the Taliban and she ran a secret school for girls. A popular MP with her constituents, she received global support when she was suspended from parliament in 2007 because of her forthright views. Malalai Joya`s work has brought her awards and death threats in equal measure. She lives in constant danger. In this gripping account, she reveals the truth about life
