Sonali Kolhatkar is the Vice President of The Afghan

Women's Mission, Host of The Morning Show on 90.7

KPFK, and a writer who has has written numerous

published articles.

The 1 1\/2 hour teach-in will look at the \"War on

Terrorism\" that has been waged since 9\/11 in

Afghanistan, and the current target Iraq. It will look

at how the goal of rooting out terrorism quickly

turned into one of liberating the Afghan people from

the Taliban. Once the hunt for Osama Bin Laden proved

more difficult that the Bush Administration imagined,

the target quickly became Iraq. The U.S is now on the

verge of launching a brutal war against the Iraqi

people, once more to liberate them through bombs.

Donald! Rumsfeld, US Defense Secretary has hailed

Afghanistan as a model for Iraq. What are the

implications of this for the people of Iraq? How will

this war affect the women of Iraq? and what does it

mean to be liberate a people through war? Sonali will

will attempt to answer these and more questions at the

teach-in.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC & ALL CAMPUS CLUBS

Tahmeena Faryal is one of the leading spokeswomen of

the Revolutionary Association of the Women of

Afghanistan (RAWA). She is in her twenties, very

eloquent and has a good grasp of English. In October

2001, Tahmeena testified in front of the Subcommittee

of the US House on International Operations and Human

Rights. Tahmeena was born in Afghanistan and raised

in Pakistani refugee camps. She joined RAWA at a young

age after attending a school run by RAWA members.

Today she travels around the world speaking out on

behalf of Afghan women and their rights. Tahmee na

also

works on RAWA's various projects in Pakistani refugee

camps and

inside Afghanistan when she is not traveling.

The Revolutionary Association of the Women of

Afghanistan (RAWA) is the oldest political women's

organization in Afghanistan. RAWA was founded in 1977

and after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, they

joined the anti-Soviet resistance and rejected the

fundamentalist ideologies of the US-backed Mujahadeen.

RAWA also strongly denounced the Taliban and today

they reject the Northern Alliance who comprise much of

Afghanistan's government. RAWA has been at the

forefront of the Afghan women's movement - they

maintain that a secular and democratic government in

Afghanistan, which ensures the rights of women

alongside men, is the only solution for peace and

stability in their country. In addition to RAWA's

political work of organizing demonstrations and

political campaigns, RAWA also coo rdinates

humanitarian projects. These include the newlyopened

Malalai Hospital

in Pakistan for Afghan

refugees, a sustainable farming project in Afghanistan

and scores of schools, orphanages, adult literacy

courses and income generating courses for Afghan women

and children. To find out more about RAWA, visit there

website at www.rawa.org.
