The Time is Now: Women Leading Middle East Uprisings

2019 was a year of global uprisings, with millions taking to the streets fighting for freedom and democracy. In 2020, the movement continues. In Iran, the downing of the Ukrainian passenger plane re-ignited the anti-government protests, and similar mass demonstrations are taking place in Iraq and Lebanon, demanding social and political change. Many of the leading activists are women, and together with Oslo Women’s Rights Initiative and Civita, we invite you to listen to courageous stories featuring prominent female activists from Iran, Iraq and Lebanon. Our speakers: Masih Alinejad, Iranian journalist and human rights defender, who spearheaded the grassroot movement My Stealthy Freedom to protest Iran’s compulsory public hijab law. Rasha Al Aqeedi, Iraqi analyst and researcher. Editor of the platform “Irfaa Sawtak” and fellow at the Center for Global Policy. Luna Safwan, Lebanese freelance Journalist and communication specialist, currently working in Beirut documenting the uprisings. The podcast is a cooperation between the Oslo Women's Rights Initiative, the Nobel Peace Center and Civita. It is sponsored by Stiftelsen Fritt Ord.
