On October 22, 2013, WLP, in partnership with Cultural Conversations of the Foreign Policy Institute at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, discusses women's rights and democracy in the MENA region particularly in light of the "Arab Spring," followed by a screening of WLP's documentary, Because Our Cause is Just, and panel discussion with experts from the region.
The event will commence with opening remarks by Azar Nafisi, Executive Director of Cultural Conversations, who will highlight the targeting of women and women's rights in times of transition and upheaval, and women's role in exposing the weaknesses of oppressive regimes - their "privilege as canaries in the mine."
Following the film screening, panelists will focus on the region's changes since the start of the “Arab Spring,” and current dynamics with regards to women’s rights.
