Writing for Trustlaw, a Thompson Reuters Foundation service, reporter Lyric Thompson discussed the EastWest Institute's 2012 Awards Dinner held yesterday at the Four Seasons Restaurant.
"I have followed [EWI award recipient Ms. Shinkai] Karokhail’s work since she was profiled in the PBS Series Women, War and Peace," writes Thompson.
"Although the relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan are famously fraught," she continues, "Karokhail is particularly optimistic that it will be possible to improve things by promoting dialogue and understanding between female leaders on both sides, which has already begun."
