First Thought Talks 2023: Gaisu Yari in conversation with Róisín Ingle
Gaisu Yari left Afghanistan during the chaotic US departure in August 2021. A long-time activist for women’s rights, she had been Commissioner for Women’s Employment in the Afghan Civil Service before the Taliban returned to power.
Now living in the US, Gaisu is Director of Afghan Voices of Hope, a unique oral history project for Afghan exiles. She was interviewed by Róisín Ingle, author, journalist and curator of The Irish Times Women’s Podcast.
First Thought Talks are presented in association with University of Galway.
