Basira at the 'Women of the World' (WOW) Festival 2016

The talk looked into the core issues affecting women's lives in the Arab region as well as the role they played in revolutionary times and looking into the future for peace building. It discussed the challenges facing Arab women today and the many ways they are being addressed across the region.

The WOW Festival is London's key annual event that celebrates the incredible achievements of women and girls and looks at the most potent topics impacting on the female gender. Always coinciding with International Women's Day in March, this year was the sixth instalment. Due to its success, WOW has now also become global, with fifteen cities on five continents also taking part in joining women's international movements.
