Women's Empowerment Keynote Speaker
Dr. Nyla Ali Khan has been motivated to imagine the possibility of different destinies for women in a world that is not governed by the aspirations and wishes of those women. It is challenging to reconstruct women’s lives, even those who have been visible in the public arena, because women are conditioned to wipe away their footprints and end up leaving very few traces of the kind that historical exploration would accept as legitimate. Obviously, an important challenge in this day and age is to create new openings for people, including women, to discuss public issues and become active participants. Female leaders can lead the way by offering new ideas, building broad-based political coalitions, and working to bridge organizational divides.
Women active in politics must aim not just to improve the position of their particular organizations but also to forge connections between the group’s agendas for conflict resolution and reconstruction of society with the strategies and agendas of other groups in the population, who have also suffered from ongoing conflicts.
