Breaking the Boundaries: A Film Screening and Panel Discussion on Women's Empowerment in the MENA Region
Wednesday, March 29, 2023
11:00 am – 1:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Online Event
11 AM New York l 5 PM Vienna
OSUN's Gender Equity Working Group is sponsoring an engaging and thought-provoking event that explores the intersections of gender, culture, and women's empowerment in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Hosted by Al-Quds Bard College and open to all OSUN institutions, this event will feature a screening of the acclaimed movie "Divar (The Wall)", followed by an open discussion.
The film delves into the struggles faced by women in the region, particularly those related to oppression and imposed restrictions. We will examine the cultural and societal factors that contribute to these challenges, and explore the ways in which women are breaking barriers and challenging gender norms in the region.
After the screening, we will open the floor for a discussion where participants can share their insights, ask questions, and engage in a constructive dialogue on the topic. This is an opportunity to learn from one another, gain a deeper understanding of gender, culture, and women's empowerment, and be part of a supportive community that values open-mindedness, diversity, and inclusion.
Don't miss out on this unique and enlightening event!
