Talk and Q&A with Dr. Khosrawi: Access to Education for Girls in Afghanistan under Taliban Rule
Friday, May 6, 2022 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm EDT/GMT-4The situation of women and girls in Afghanistan has been steadily deteriorating since the Taliban takeover of the country. Girls’ access to education is heavily curtailed, robbing a generation of girls and young women of a basic right and future opportunities. We are honored to invite you to a talk with Afghan scholar Ahmad Ghani Khosrawi, which will also focus on possible ways forward by pointing out what people in Europe and Germany can and ought to do in response. In the second half of the event, participants have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in a conversation with Dr. Khosrawi and some of BCB’s Afghan students.
Dr. Ahmad Ghani Khosrawi is the former Dean of the Humanities and Literature Faculty of Herat University, where he also founded the German Department. He got his PhD from JMI University in New Delhi, India, and is currently a researcher at Bard College Berlin. Dr. Khosrawi is a scholar, humanitarian, and author published in several countries.
Snacks and drinks will be served at the event.
