Fawzia Koofi: Making a New Afghanistan For Her Daughters

Today, a two-term member of the Afghan parliament, Koofi, 35, is one of the most prominent political figures in the country. Her journey is extraordinary in the context of Afghanistan’s turbulent recent history.

The winter of 2000 was cold in the Wakhan Corridor, one of the remotest regions in northern Afghanistan, as the Taliban were closing in on what remained of a flimsy resistance. Fawzia Koofi, 25 at the time, was traveling with a team of medical surveyors. She had left behind her dying husband and her 16-month-old daughter at the provincial capital, Faizabad. Her second child, in her lap, was only three months old and extremely weak. As Koofi made her way across the mountain tracks to the secluded districts bordering China, fear nagged her about the well-being of her child in the harsh weather.
