Women of the Middle East

By: Dr Amal Al Malki
  • Summary

  • This podcast relates the realities of Arab Women and their rich and diverse experiences. It aims to represent the multiplicity of women voices. It wishes to break cultural stereotypes about women of the Middle East, and educate and empower the younger generation of Middle Eastern women who were stripped of their historical reference and weren’t necessarily raised to believe in their own agency and power to create their destiny.
