Afghanistan Malalai Joya

Malalai Joya meets regularly with underground womens groups and supporters hearing their concerns and encouraging them to be strong. She spends most days surrounded by supporters and armed guards in numerous safe houses in Afghanistan. Joya electrified the nation in 2003 when she spoke out in the Afghan Parliament against warlords and criminals in the government. She was suspended for this insult even though some fellow Parliamentarians who called for her to be raped and killed remain in government. Joya has survived four assassination attempts and Human Rights Watch has called for her reinstatement to Parliament.
