The Power of Activism: What You Stand for Matters!

Description

What are our responsibilities as Iranian women living in the diaspora? How can we help the brave Iranian women risking their lives in the movement for women’s rights and freedom? How do public demonstrations, chanting slogans, and sharing photos, and/or videos from Iran contribute to the larger women’s movement?

The panel consists of women who have dedicated their lives to social change, run for office, or were appointed to influential positions because of their strong stances on social issues.

Panelists: Dr. Nina Ansary & Goli Ameri

Lead Like a Woman!

Description

Women are powerful leaders. In this session, you will hear firsthand accounts from female leaders about their experiences. They will discuss the attributes of effective leaders: courage, strength, empathy, and authenticity to name a few. Find out how each of these women have evolved in their leadership roles and how they advance in their own unique way. Are women different kinds of leaders than men? Dare we ask if they’re even better?

The impact of Art in Social Movement

Description

The world’s largest female-led revolution is happening right now in Iran. Throughout history, the intersection of art and activism has played a crucial role in social movements against inequality, oppression and injustice. Whether it be posters, film, murals, photography, music or graffiti, different artistic mediums have helped countless social justice movements gain necessary traction in the public sphere. Women artists in Iran and across the diaspora are leading the way, using the universal power of art to support and sustain the movement for freedom that transcends borders and demands universal human rights for this generation and the next. With fearless courage, these creative catalysts have become the voices and vanguards of change in our society.
