Early life and education
Gailani is the daughter of Ahmed Gailani, the founder of the National Islamic Front of Afghanistan (NIFA) who fought against the Soviets in the Soviet–Afghan War. She graduated secondary school from the Centre d'Enseignement Français en Afghanistan.[3] She then earned a master's degree in Persian literature from the National University of Iran and a degree in Islamic studies from the Muslim College in London.
Career
While in exile in London during the 1980s, Gailani served as spokesperson for the NIFA Party in the West.[4][5]
After the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 1996, Gailani convinced Muhammad Sayyid Tantawy, the Grand Imam of al-Azhar, to issue a fatwa condemning the Taliban's ban on girls’ education. After the Taliban regime fell in 2001, she returned to Afghanistan as a delegate in the 2002 loya jirga and then to participate in drafting a new constitution.[6]
From 2005 to 2016, Gailani served as president of the Afghan Red Crescent Society.[7][8] In 2017, she served as chair of the Red Cross Conference.[9]
During the Afghan peace process after 2018, she served as a member of the Afghan government's negotiating team.[10] While recovering from cancer, she was one of only four women to have participated in talks with the Taliban in Doha, Qatar in 2020.[11][12]
After the Fall of Kabul in August 2021, she stated that the negotiating team had been close to a peace deal "and then oops, the President has disappeared. For God’s sake."[13][14]
