Lunch & Learn: The Fight for Equality for Palestinian and Bedouin Women in Israel

With special guest speaker Sana Ibn Bari, a Human Rights Lawyer

Sana Ibn Bari, a young Bedouin Israeli woman human rights attorney at Itach-Ma'aki: Women Lawyers for Social Justice, has done extraordinary work fighting discrimination against Palestinian and Bedouin Israeli women. Sana will offer an overview of the current state of Palestinian and Bedouin women's rights in Israel, and share what Israeli human rights activists are doing to combat discrimination against non-Jewish women. She'll also discuss the larger question of whether Bedouin and Palestinian women can gain equality when both Palestinian and Bedouin men and women experience significant discrimination in Israeli life.
