Please join NAAP-NY at a forum on the status of women in the Arab community.
Please join on us on Thursday, March 15th, in commemoration of Women's History Month, as we host a forum to discuss the real versus perceived status of women in the Arab community.
An expert panel of academics, community activists and U.N. representatives will highlight different aspects of this issue by presenting statistics, case studies and analyses of the situation in the Arab world as well as the Arab-American community. A Q & A session will follow and we encourage you all to participate in an open and thought-provoking dialogue.
