When Education and Culture Clash: Afghanistan's 1st Women-only University 

Dr. Aziz Amir Interviewed by the BBC

​

"One of the main causes of the long lasting conflict and violence in Afghanistan is lack of education and specifically lack of education for women. Women have long been marginalized and deprived from access to education. Children of educated mothers are very less likely to join terrorist organizations and destroy their own country." - Aziz Amir  

 

The Global Risk Mitigation Foundation's Dr. Aziz Amir, a member of the Foundation's Board of Advisors and a distinguished Afghan cardiologist, was recently interviewed on BBC radio about the beginnings of his remarkable women-only university in Kabul--Afghanistan's first and accomplished without outside support or funding.
