About the lecture: This event was CASAR’s last event opened for the AUC community only. It took place as part of the course AMST 1099 “Exploring Feminist Perspectives in Egypt and the US” taught by CASAR Assistant to Director and Adjunct Faculty Yasmeen El Ghazaly. The Panel included Ms. Malak El-Lamie from Motherbeing NGO representing Egypt, representing the United states was Ms. Alexandra Mcdougall who comes from the NGO ‘Women’s Advocates’ in Northern Minnesota, and representing Canada from the ‘London Abused Women's Centre’ in London, Ontario, is Wendy Goldsmith. Other than Ms. Malak, these guests joined the discussion via zoom, to answer questions about how well women are educated about their bodies in Egypt, America, and Canada. Other questions leading the discussion included “How do the cultural disparities play a role in the educational discourses used in that discipline in all three countries? How do we define what agency means? How does this knowledge make a difference in their lives? Which problems could be resolved when we educate women about agency and body autonomy?”
