Afghan women making change - here and in Afghanistan

Friday, 24 September 2021 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jennifer talks with Lida Hazara, founder and president of Women for Change In Melbourne, an organisation empowering Hazara people in Afghanistan and Australia through education and employment.

Lida talks about her life growing up in Afghanistan, fleeing to Pakistan in her teens, and then settling in Australia.

We learn what motivated her to establish Women for Change and the difference the organisation is making in the lives of girls and women.

Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
