Dear All,

Mark your calendars for a breakfast discussion with the IREX/Kyrgyzstan office on Tuesday, December 13th at 9:00am. Bridenapping remains prevalent in Kyrgyzstan—it is a reality that has affected the IREX community directly, with a staff member in our country office taken on her second day of work. Join us as we delve into the mounting issue of bridenapping and its effect on Kyrgyz communities and men and women worldwide.

In advance of the salon, feel free to read the article “Bride-napping Drama Engages Boys in Gender Discussion” by Anne Johnson, and preview the short film we’ll be viewing at the beginning of the session: http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/kyrgyzstan/thestory.html
.

Bagels and coffee will be served. Please RSVP to Erin Murrock (emurrock@irex.org) by Friday, December 9th to confirm attendance.

We look forward to a lively conversation,
Michelle
