An afternoon of storytelling, courage and hope, amplifying the voices of women facing injustice and persecution in Afghanistan.

This is a free event, however, booking is required.

Join Marzia Babakarkhail for a special event as we learn more about the ongoing injustice in Afghanistan, from former Afghan judge, women's rights activist, and author Marzia Babakarkhail.

There will be an interview and Q&A with Marzia discussing 'Marzia: A Judge's Fight for Afghan Women's Rights' – a powerful memoir of courage, justice, and one woman's determination to give voice to Afghanistan's women judges in the wake of the Taliban's return to power.

Marzia Babakarkhail’s lifelong work has focused on advancing women’s access to justice, education, and opportunity in Afghanistan. Marzia set up set up the Afghan Women Social and Cultural Organisation and was Chair of the Women’s Committee of the Afghan NGOs Coordination Bureau (ANCB). After surviving two Taliban assassination attempts, she was forced to flee Afghanistan and then Pakistan to rebuild her life in the UK. Today, the briefcase she carried during that escape is in the collection at PHM.

There will be an option of buying a signed copy of Marzia's book during the event (£24.99).

There will also be light refreshments provided.
