In recent times, the world has witnessed significant geopolitical shifts, and the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan has prompted a closer examination of the impact on various segments of society. This lecture will focus specifically on the experiences and challenges confronted by female protesters navigating the complex socio-political landscape under the Taliban's rule.
Our speaker Tooba Lutfi will explore the multifaceted issues faced by women who courageously advocate for their rights in the face of a changing political climate. The discussion will encompass not only the legal and societal obstacles but also shed light on the resilience and determination demonstrated by these brave individuals in pursuit of gender equality.
Tooba Lutfi is an activist and political scientist. She was not only a part of the demonstrations against the Taliban in 2021, but one of the organizers. Originally from Panjshir, Afghanistan, she lives in Berlin now.
The expert talk is part of our project "Pul" - in German "Brücke", which aims to create new knowledge and perspectives on topics related to the Afghanistan crisis. In the current media coverage, these topics are usually dealt with in a rather brief and undifferentiated manner. Pul provides more in-depth, well-founded insights into the topic with expert lectures and panel discussions. In addition to increasing knowledge, Pul also aims to build bridges between civil society and Afghan (exile) society through empathy and understanding.
