Iranian American Women Foundation (IAWF) is partnering with UCI Jordan Center for Persian Studies & Culture to celebrate Women's International Day at UC Irvine.Join us for screening an inspirational documentary film by Fery Malek Madani and her team who traveled to provincial cities across Iran to channel the imagination of young girls, and ask them to focus on their dreams and aspirations. There will be a Q&A session following by the breathtaking exhibit, and take part in sharing the realities of young women in a traditional society. We will be conducting a panel discussion of Iranian women entrepreneurs, and Award ceremony. Please join and share in the conversation around the status of women, their rights and their desires in the long-term.
We believe it is quite an achievement to create room for freedom of discussion on subjects rarely - if ever - addressed. This event and exhibit will be another testament that in the eyes of humanity, we are all the same.
The event will feature speakers Monir Jalili, Sunny Nassim, Anoosheh Oskouian, and Shirin Zarkesh.
Community Services Award Recipient: Shahrzad Ardalan.
