#9: We the Women of Afghanistan – Nahid Shahalimi

Being the daughter of one of the Afghanistan’s most influential
and prosperous persons, Nahid Shahalimi grew up in the country’s
high society. However, the life of her family took a dramatic
turn when her father died and Nahid had to flee to Canada with
her mother and sisters in the 1980s. Since then, she has lived in
Pakistan, India, the USA, Spain and Germany and – and became
actively involved in many humanitarian projects.


 


In this episode she talks about both her remarkable childhood in
Afghanistan and her humanitarian work today as an artist, author,
activist and filmmaker, with which she shines a spotlight on the
women of Afghanistan.
