Understanding Displacement through a Gender Lens

Announced by the University of Pittsburgh

Displaced and conflict-affected individuals face a host of challenges – some unique to their circumstances, others deeply connected to the broader human experience. When forced displacement intersects with gender, ability, and other identities, these challenges – and their solutions – become even more complex. Join NaTakallam and Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies for a powerful conversation on gender and displacement. Moderated by Fida J. Adely and NaTakallam Founder Aline Sara, this discussion will feature NaTakallam Language Partners Mona Almerstani and Hadiya Ahmed as they share how refugees – through lived experience – embody empathy, resilience, and adaptability in ways that can inspire us all.
