On March 26, CMEIS hosted an evening of insightful discussions, powerful stories, and thought-provoking perspectives in belated honor of International Women’s Day.

Our panel featuring Mikaila Rummage, Rassil Barada, and Ayse Keskin Saglam illuminated the global experiences, contributions, and challenges of women in the Middle East. From gender and resistance to public health and digital activism, our speakers shared invaluable insights on how women continue to shape social change and challenge the status quo. This event was more than just a conversation—it was a call to amplify women’s voices, foster solidarity, and drive meaningful progress toward justice and equality.

Thank you to our amazing panelists and everyone who joined us in this inspiring dialogue! Let’s keep the conversation going and continue to uplift women’s voices everywhere
