Show Notes
Who Cares Wins Presents another Extraordinary Women, Zarifa Ghafari. Zarifa - one of Afghanistan’s youngest female mayors to ever be elected, had to flee the country to Germany last year when the Taliban regained power. She's been tirelessly advocating for women’s rights in a country with one of the highest gender gaps between men and women globally. She is someone who has defied the odds to reach her leadership position but it has not been without sacrifice - she survived 4 assassination attempts, 1 which ultimately killed her Father, General Abdul Wasi Ghafari. The music you will hear throughout is from The Zohra Orchestra : Afghanistan’s first all-female orchestra, named after the music goddess in Persian writings and who performed at Davos in 2017.
