"Being a feminist in Albania": Sevim Arbana, PeaceWoman and women's rights campaigner (English)

"Justice and peace for Afghanistan", Sima Samar, member of our Board and women’s rights and human rights defender, Afghanistan

Compact, interesting and relevant: in our printed and electronic newsletters, you can find out about our events and projects and our political activities in Switzerland and abroad.

In this interview with the Swiss daily newspaper Le Temps, Sima Samar lets her memories emerge. As a Hazara, a woman and a feminist, she is everything the Taliban reject. She left her country on 25 June 2021, before Kabul was taken by the Taliban. "Just a few days before I saw my country collapse." Sima Samar is a human rights activist and member of our International Board.
The interview is only available in French.

PWAG organises this workshop series with the support of Women’s International League of Peace and Freedom (WILPF).
