Najmaldin Karim Webinar Series
Tuesday, January 19, at 12:00 pm EST

Throughout history, the Kurdish women played an essential role in the freedom movements across Kurdistan. The world recognizes the role of the Kurdish women by being “brave fighters” but they have given a much more vital part in all fields. The Kurdish women continue to face daily challenges by repressive regimes and societies inside and outside Kurdistan.

The panelists overviewed the important role of Kurdish women historically in their countries and in different contexts, the challenges they face today, and what the future holds for them in terms of equality. Our distinguished speakers will also discuss what Kurdish women experience living abroad in Europe and the United States.
