Nilofar Sakhi directs the International Center for Women’s Economic Development at the American University of Afghanistan. She says half of the university’s first-year class are women. Ms. Sakhi says one reason for increased female enrollment is because Afghan girls today have examples of successful, professional Afghan women.
“Looking at women talking about their political rights in parliament, looking at women entering into business and having trade in Malaysia and Dubai, and looking at women who are successful personalities internationally of raising Afghanistan voices. This gives an image.”
