    Military deaths, roadside bombs, politics- this is what we hear when Afghanistan is on the news. We seldom see the faces, hear the stories or learn about the lives of Afghan women. Join Heather Metcalfe for a visual journey through Afghanistan that reveals glimpses of
    the struggle, resilience and hope of its women. Hear how Muzdha, Ferishta, Dr. Najia, and other women overcome victimization despite such obstacles as illiteracy, domestic violence and forced marriage. Metcalfe weaves their stories with her own tale of travel to Afghanistan in June 2009, resulting in the film/book Voices of Afghanistan, which she will share at this event.
