Wrapping Up Day 3

May 1, 2010 in General by Nadine Moawad

It’s 9pm and we just wrapped up Day 3 of our Cairo meeting of young Arab feminists. Every evening of our meeting was open to participant-led workshops on topics of their choice, theoretical or practical. Today, we had back-to-back workshops on progressive discourses on sexuality and the global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Diversity is a key value of our network, which we will be ready to officially launch tomorrow. The strong need and excitement around the idea of our network is evident, but what is more noticeable is the stronger need to organize it with entirely new strategies and discourses. We managed to wrap up a structure, policies, bylaws, and lots of technical issues to get this network going. We’re excited about sharing the final results of our meeting with you all next week!
