The Association of Foreign Affairs Nawal El Saadawi - 80 years old egyptian pshychiatrist, activist and author
Nawal El Saadawis novels and books on the situation of women have had a deep effect on successive generations of young women and men over the last five decades in the Middle East.
As a result of her literary and scientific writings she has had to face numerous difficulties and even dangers in her life. In 1972, she lost her job in the Egyptian Ministry of Health because of her book “Women and Sex” published in Arabic in Cairo (1969). She was banned by the political and religious authorities, since she -in some chapters of the book- wrote against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and linked sexual problems to political and economic oppression.
The lecture is a collaboration with CMES (Center for Middle Eastern Studies).
FREE ENTRANCE!

Förra året gav Kielos ut boken ''Det enda könet'' som är en kritisk uppgörelse med den rådande ekonomiska världsbilden. I boken tar hon sig an en av vår tids största globala frågor, nämligen förtrycket av kvinnor och vad som kan göras för att lösa det. Kielos har bl.a. varit verksam som vikarierande chefredaktör för Dagens Arena och frilansskribent verksam på Expressens. År 2013 fick Katrine Dagens Nyheters kritikerpris Lagercrantzen.

PR Committee Pickwick is finally back again with a new and interesting topic! Join us Thursday 25th for a discussion on ‘aid and NGOs’. When you hear the word ‘aid’, the first thing that comes to your mind may be the financial type. It can be argued that this type of aid is vital to exterminate world poverty and inequality, among other things. With that being said, NGOs over the world have received criticism for the fact that the money does not always reach the intended destination.
Is it impossible to avoid that some of the aid goes to bribes and other kinds of corruptions? Could NGOs lose their reliance because of this fact or do they simply stay without a choice? Are other kinds of aid than the financial type more preferable? Come and share your thoughts on these questions with us!
When: Thursday 25th April 17.00
Where: UPF-office, 5th floor in AF
If you have any further questions feel free to contact us at activity@upflund.se.
Hope to see you on Thursday!
