What can we learn from considering the Taliban in the wider context of a worldwide battle against extremism? What does the situation of women in Afghanistan tell us about women\u2019s rights globally and about feminist solidarity?\r\n \r\n Speakers:\r\n \r\n Zahra Nader is a 2025 Knight Wallace Fellow and the founding editor-in-chief of Zan Times, an award-winning newsroom in exile that covers human rights violations in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Zahra has worked with local and international media, including the New York Times in Kabul. She has been bylined in publications ranging from Time and Foreign Policy to the Guardian, Globe and Mail, and DW. She has a master's in Communication and Culture and is a Ph.D. student in Gender, Feminist & Women\u2019s Studies at York University in Canada.\r\n \r\n Professor Karima Bennoune is the Lewis M. Simes Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School. She served as the UN Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights from 2015 to 2021. Bennoune was also appointed as an expert for the International Criminal Court in 2017 during the reparations phase of the groundbreaking case The Prosecutor v. Ahmad Al Faqi Al Mahdi, concerning the intentional destruction of cultural heritage sites by extremists in Mali. A former legal advisor for Amnesty International, she has carried out human rights missions in most regions of the world. She has been on three missions to Afghanistan, visiting different regions of the country: in 1995, 2005, and 2011, and has worked closely with Afghan women human rights defenders for many years, including during the 2021 evacuations.\r\n \r\n Karima is the author of \u201cThe International Obligation to Counter Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan,\u201d which appeared in the Columbia Human Rights Law Review in December 2022 and has been translated into Farsi by the Afghanistan Institute for Strategic Studies. In September 2023, she spoke at the UN Security Council about gender apartheid in Afghanistan. Subsequently, she traveled to South Africa with Malala Yousafzai to participate in a panel on gender apartheid with the Nobel laureate after her December 2023 Nelson Mandela lecture.\r\n \r\n Her book, \u201cYour Fatwa Does Not Apply Here\u201d recounts the stories of people of Muslim heritage around the world who have battled extremism, and won the 2014 Dayton Literary Peace Prize. The Women in International Law Interest Group of the American Society of International Law gave her its \u201cProminent Woman in International Law\u201d Award in 2024.\r\n \r\n Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"132879-21872007@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/132879", "building_id":"1000165", "building_name":"Weiser Hall", "campus_maps_id":"47", "room":"Room 555", "location_name":"Weiser Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Women's Studies","Human Right"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Center for South Asian Studies", "group_id":"3273", "website":"http:\/\/www.ii.umich.edu\/csas" }, { "group_name":"International Institute", "group_id":"1968", "website":"http:\/\/www.ii.umich.edu" }, { "group_name":"Asian Languages and Cultures", "group_id":"3364", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/asian" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132879_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21872007 } , "133215-21872606": { "datetime_modified":"20250227T121638", "datetime_start":"20250314T160000", "datetime_end":"20250314T210000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-03-14", "date_end":"2025-03-14", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"21:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"enemies + entities", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"enemies + entities: Performing Arts Technology Exhibition", "event_subtitle":"Performing Arts Technology Exhibition", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"enemies + entities; one of the most ironic sentences in life.
