A First Hand Look at the Women of Tunisia
by Johnna White & UW Women’s Center Program Update
Saturday, October 19, 2013 – 9:30am – 12 pm
University of Washington, Parrington Hall, Seattle
Open to the general public – No need to be member to attend.
Following our very successful meeting held on the University of Washington campus last fall, AAUW-Seattle members and their guests are once again invited to the campus as guests of the UW Women’s Center, which is an AAUW Member Partner of the Seattle branch.
Johnna White, Program Manager in the Women’s Center and graduate student at the Evans School of Public Affairs, will talk about her recent trip to Tunisia where she was hosted for two weeks by the Center for Arab Women Training and Research. Johnna will briefly discuss her experiences in Tunis, including the various perspectives that the Tunisian women and men shared with her on the evolving status of women pre- and post-revolution and their outlook for the future.
Following Johnna’s talk, we will hear an update on some of the other amazing achievements and programs of the Women’s Center. There will also be representatives from various student women’s groups on campus at the meeting, and we will update them on the benefits of AAUW. Please join us for this fabulous meeting with our UW Women’s Center partners!
