Join us to hear about the experiences of three of the Palestinian women visiting the UK with CADFA* (Camden Abu Dis Friendship Association) as part of a special Palestinian Women’s Voices Tour. Twelve women have travelled here to talk about their lives as part of International Women’s Day celebrations across England and Wales. The three women coming exclusively to Manchester are:
Amneh from Jenin – A retired teacher and writer for children
Suhair from Beit Leed village near Tulkarem – A youth worker and staff member of the rehabilitation unit in Nablus hospital
Shereen from Nazareth – A medical student studying in Abu Dis who grew up in Nazareth.
The women will be sharing their own stories, talking about life for women in different parts of Palestine followed by a Q&A and chance for discussion.
* This visit is part of CADFA’s Building Hope project which seeks to bring Palestinian voices to a wider audience across Britain and has been organised in partnership with the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Education Trust.
