Fawzia Koofi is one of four women representing the government in the historic talks to end war in Afghanistan.

Starting on September 12, these are the first direct talks with the Taliban and relies on the US withdrawing all remaining troops from the country. 

After surviving several assassination attempts from the Taliban, the Afghani politician and women’s rights activist wants her injury  and her presence to symbolise the strength of Afghan women in the face of decades of oppression and adversity.
