Dear All,
Please join us on Wednesday, November 2nd at noon in the Board Room for a conversation with Lori Mason as she discusses her research and work on honor killings and women in Kurdistan.
In preparation for the conversation, please take a few minutes to view Lori’s short piece she wrote for a newspaper in Kurdistan that focuses on several themes we will discuss (see: attached).
In addition to the article, feel free to review the following websites:
- http://www.kwrw.org/kwahk/
- http://www.kwrw.org/ (Lori mentioned that the roundup of news stories/accounts of violence here is very revealing)
- http://www.stophonourkillings.com/?q=taxonomy/term/48
Finally, please view this YouTube documentary for additional background on women in Iraq and Kurdistan:
During the salon we hope to flesh out the nuances of women’s’ and men’s roles in honor killings throughout the region of the Arab world.
We look forward to a lively discussion.
Thank you,
Michelle
