  (5) Arab women after a decade of transformations

  Casa Árabe organized this public conference as part of the International Forum on “A decade of transformations in the Arab world.” With Madawi al-Rasheed, Fatemah Farag and Hibaaq Osman. Over the last decade, we have witnessed a series of transformations in the Arab world, taking place in societies which asked for democracy while clamoring for freedom and dignity. However, Arab women continue to fall victim to discrimination, violence and the violation of their rights. There is evidence of this in the annual reports by the most important world organizations published since the 1980’s, with indicators ranking the Arab countries at the bottom in terms of gender development, measures for the empowerment and gender equality, furthering women’s role in science, women’s activity in the economy and labor market, and women’s participation in political life, as well as other indicators. This conference, which formed part of the international forum “A decade of transformation in the Arab world,” included the participation of three experts who discussed the many challenges ahead to be faced by Arab women, from different perspectives: Madawi al-Rasheed, a visiting professor at the London School of Economics (LSE) Middle East Centre; Fatemah Farag, a journalist and the founder and director of Welad Elbalad Media Services LTD, and Hibaaq Osman, the founder of al-Karama and a member of several organizations which specialize in gender-based and feminist studies.

  How are “millennials” changing the Mediterranean?

  Arabisms: Festival of young creators: Conference given (05/18/2017) by Juan Cole, a professor of History at the University of Michigan, and Nesreen El Hachlaf, a lawyer and journalist in Spain. The event was moderated by Alfonso Carlos Bolado, director of the Contemporary Islam Library, Edicions Bellaterra. The youths who were born from 1982 through 2004, referred to as millennials, will become more than 70% of the developed world’s labor force in 2025. Not all groups of adolescents and youths in their twenties create historical movements focusing on their identity as young people, but it appears as though Arab millennials have. Six years ago, an urban youth movement broke onto the scene, given momentum by social and economic malaise, for the discovery of new life experiences, in confrontation with a series of regimes whose only interest lay in perpetuating their own power. But how did they do this? Juan Cole took a look at the cases of Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. At the time, people spoke of a contagious effect spreading out from Tahrir Square to Spain’s May 15th movement. Can the Arab experience be compared with that of youths in Spain? Nessrin el Hachlaf delved further into the matter, examining the case of the migrant population residing in Spain and their descendants.

  Democratic transition and judicial reform in Tunisia (ARABIC)

  Ghazi Jeribi, the Tunisian Justice Minister, gave this conference in Madrid. With the participation of Margarita Robles Fernández, President of the Spanish Parliament’s Justice Commission. Six years after the revolution which put an end to the era of President Ben Ali, Tunisia has had the seventh government in its young democracy since late August of 2016. The political developments in Tunisia since 2011 constitute what is perhaps the most hopeful case among the so-called Arab Springs, and its value as a symbol of the potential for change in Arab societies is enormous. One of the conditions necessary for a successful democratic transition, as established by the Tunisian Constitution of 2014, is a reform of the judicial system. The Tunisian Justice Minister, Ghazi Jeribi, in this position since August 2016, and a person with in-depth knowledge about his country’s judiciary, talked to us about this reform, the achievements reached up to now and the difficulties which it is facing. Ghazi Jeribi (Tunis, 1955) has a university degree in Law from the University of Paris, having specialized in Public Law. He has had ties with the Tunisian judiciary since 1984, first with the Administrative Court, where he held several different positions, including that of First President, from 2007 through 2011. In 2014, he was named the Minister of National Defense and a member of the Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission), holding the position of Chairman of the Sub-commission for the Mediterranean Basin. Since 2015, he has been a lawyer at the Court of Cassation. He has had many articles published in domestic and foreign journals and magazines on human rights, public freedoms and transitional justice, as well as other subjects. In 2015, he was decorated with the distinction of the Order of the Republic. More info: http://en.casaarabe.es/event/democratic-transition-and-judicial-reform-in-tunisia
