Status of Women in the Middle East and North Africa: Are We Listening?
In this edition of Wilson Center NOW we are joined by Merissa Khurma, Program Director of the Wilson Center’s Middle East Program, and Haleh Esfandiari, Distinguished Fellow; Director Emerita, Middle East Program. They discuss a special series of new blog posts celebrating Women’s History Month in Enheduanna. Enheduanna seeks to “inspire diverse women contributors from the Middle East to voice their thoughts and express their ideas about the state of women in their countries and their often ignored yet important work to advance women’s issues across the region.”
