Description

Twenty years ago, the US invasion of Iraq unleashed a series of humanitarian tragedies that, combined with the effects of sanctions, set back women’s rights for decades. In the years since, women’s groups across the country have continued to work for progress, despite many obstacles.
 
In this episode, Anna Romandash (MGA '22), a Brembeck Fellow at Fourth Freedom Forum, talks with Nadje Al-Ali, the Robert Family Professor of International Studies and Professor of Anthropology and Middle East Studies at Brown University, about feminist activists in the country, the role of younger generations of Iraqi, and the ways in which international allies can facilitate and provide support to Iraqi women rights groups.
 
Learn more about the impacts of war and critiques on the strategy of using military intervention to enhance women’s rights in Romandash's report and policy brief.
