Her name is Gulshan.
We hired this young financial Subject Matter Expert to work the Gender
portfolio at the Ministry. She is a
smart, Indian educated Afghan woman with something to prove in this male
dominated world. At the first formal quarterly
budget review of the year, she was selected to brief the status of “Gender”
salaries and investments. This was a
first as no woman had ever briefed at a Two-star level forum. She came to the head of the table, sat down
and began rattling off numbers and her assessment of the state of the high
profile program, making eye contact with the General and the other Colonels
gathered around the table. Her voice was firm and her words knowledgeable and
authoritative. Gulshan hit it out of the
park! A great day, and a phenomenal
start for the next generation.
