En Tunisie, les collecteurs de plastique, surnommés les « berbechas » sont environ 8 000. Parmi eux, de nombreuses femmes, très exposées aux risques de ce métier qui fait partie de l'économie informelle. Le pays ne dispose pas d'un système de tri sélectif, donc les métiers de collecte et de recyclage de plastique ne sont pas, pour la plupart, réellement encadrés. Notre correspondante à Tunis a suivi le quotidien d'une femme berbecha. De notre correspondante à Tunis,Chaque jour, Basma Lamliki, 53 ans, sort avec une poussette rafistolée pour faire sa tournée. Entre les poubelles et les particuliers, elle collecte les bouteilles de plastique et du pain rassis. Elle vend les bouteilles à un dépôt de plastique, et le pain aux agriculteurs pour leur bétail.« Alors là, vous voyez, je vais passer voir une dame que je connais depuis longtemps. Elle me prépare les bouteilles vides, en général chaque vendredi. Je fais toujours les poubelles, car ça complète ce que l'on me donne directement, et si quelqu'un est absent et que je n'ai pas eu assez de bouteilles dans ma tournée », explique Basma.Ce labeur, elle le pratique depuis 30 ans dans le quartier de l'Ariana àTunis. « Bonjour Basma, tu as des bouteilles plastiques pour moi ? », lui demande-t-on. Son travail est essentiel car sa mère et son frère, malades, dépendent d'elles financièrement. « Quand j'avais la vingtaine, nous n'avions pas suffisamment de moyens dans ma famille. Je ne trouvais pas de travail, donc un jour, je suis sortie avec le chariot qui nous sert pour la bonbonne de gaz et j'ai commencé à demander à des gens du quartier s'ils avaient du pain ou des bouteilles vides, car je savais que je pouvais les vendre », confie-t-elle.Deux euros pour six kilos collectésBasma compresse ces bouteilles pour réduire leur taille. Elle fait tout à mains nues, sans gants de protection. Une fois sa tournée finie, elle va peser et vendre son sac de plastique dans un dépôt. « Allez Karim dépêche-toi, pèse mon lot d'abord, car je dois y aller. Et n'oublie pas de me redonner le sac. Voilà, ça pèse six kilos. Le kilo est à un dinar, j'ai gagné six dinars aujourd'hui. »Six dinars, soit deux euros qui lui permettront de nourrir sa famille pour la journée seulement. C'est cette précarité qu'a voulu mettre en lumière Maha Bergaoui, auteur de l'étude sur les femmes berbechas pour l'Union nationale de la femme tunisienne : « Notre étude a montré qu'une femme sur cinq n'a pas de carnet de soins et donc n'a pas accès aux soins gratuitement. Malheureusement, les femmes qui devraient être à la retraite sont encore en train de travailler. »Après avoir interviewé 116 d'entre elles en juillet 2024, l'étude est l'une des premières en Tunisie à révéler les conditions de ces femmes : « Cette étude, qui est le début d'une recherche action, a pour objectif de mettre en exergue la vulnérabilité de ces femmes, de définir leurs besoins dans un but ultime qui est le plaidoyer auprès des décideurs. »La grande majorité travaille sans aucune couverture sociale.À lire aussiTunisie: la ville de Sfax confrontée à une accumulation des déchets

Palestinian filmmaker Basma al-Sharif dives into her award-winning pieces to discuss film as performance art. This discussion leads into the role of activism in the arts and the ways film responds to and comments on current events.Kunafa and Shay is a podcast produced for HowlRound Theatre Commons by co-hosts Nabra Nelson and Marina Johnson. Kunafa and Shay discusses and analyzes contemporary and historical Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) and Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) theatre from across the region. Kunafa and Shay highlights MENA/SWANA plays and theatremakers, spotlights community-engaged work in the region and diaspora, and analyzes the past, present, and future of MENA/SWANA theatre in the United States and beyond. Theatre artists and scholars Nabra Nelson and Marina Johnson bring their own perspectives, research, and special guests in order to start a dialogue and encourage further learning and discussion.

Kunafa and Shay is a place to share experiences, discuss ideas, and sometimes engage with our differences. In each country in the region, you'll find kunafa made differently. In that way, we also lean into the diversity, complexity, and robust flavors of MENA/SWANA theatre.

On the positive side, social media has provided a platform for Muslim women to share their stories, challenge stereotypes, and inspire others. It has given them a voice and the opportunity to connect with a global community. However, there are also downsides. Sometimes, Muslim women face backlash, stereotypes, and even harassment online. It's important to navigate these dynamics by promoting positive dialogue, educating others, and supporting each other. As for studying Islam and sharing it on social media, it's a great way to learn and engage with others.

The primary factor behind this is 'insulin resistance'.So, is the common belief that excess weight causes PCOS accurate? I've invited Dr. Basma Faris to answer this question and shed light on this prevalent syndrome affecting women.Dr. Faris is a board-certified Obstetrician-Gynecologist with over two decades of healthcare experience.

Science fiction isn't a mode usually associated with Palestinian literature, perhaps because dreams of the future seem like a luxury when you can barely hold onto your past, or even present.

The hosts are back in their normal seats and with a special guest, Dr. Basma Al-Buhairan, Managing Director for the Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR), who joins The 966 to talk about tech adoption and the Center's role in enabling Vision 2030's success. Before the conversation, the hosts discuss some key projects for Vision 2030 being delayed, as reported in Bloomberg, and why that is a good thing. Richard reads from a recent Bloomberg item highlighting the delays based on comments from Mohammed Al-Jaddan, Minister of Finance. "The government, which is forecasting budget deficits every year out to 2026, has decided on the extension to build capacity and avert huge inflationary pressures and supply bottlenecks, Finance Minister Mohammed Al Jadaan said Thursday. He didn't specify which projects would be affected..." Then the hosts discuss Lucien's One Big Thing, the new US Embassy building in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh. The United States has officially broken ground on its new embassy project in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh, a sprawling new building blending traditional and modern architecture on a 27.5 acre site.When completed, it will be the largest embassy in Riyadh. U.S. and Saudi officials participated in a ceremony to break ground on the new compound this week, marking a milestone in the longstanding U.S.-Saudi bilateral relationship. Deputy Assistant Secretary for Arabian Peninsula Affairs Daniel Benaim and Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister, His Excellency Mr. Waleed bin Abdulkarim Al-Khuraiji, joined U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Michael Ratney for the event. Next, Lucien and Richard welcome onto The 966 Dr. Basma Al-Buhairan, Managing Director for the Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR). Dr. Basma discusses her work leading Saudi Arabia's efforts at developing what is called "Industry 4.0" or "the Fourth Industrial Revolution" or "4IR" which is the next phase in the digitization of the manufacturing sector, driven by disruptive trends including the rise of data and connectivity, analytics, human-machine interaction, and improvements in robotics. The center supports Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 by being a platform for public-private, multi-stakeholder collaboration to maximize technological benefits to society and minimize the risks associated with 4IR technologies in The Kingdom. Dr. Basma is also an adviser and part of the founding team of the Research Development Innovation Authority (RDIA)Lucien and Richard conclude as always with a jam-packed "Yallah!" segment, covering 6 top storylines from Saudi Arabia from the last few weeks, including Expo2030 in Riyadh, a new type of Saudi-made sustainable firewood, and much more...

We are releasing a conversation recorded on Tuesday, November 14th, 2023, at IDFA, where I met with Julian Ross and Farah Hasanbegović to recap Corresponding Cinemas. Corresponding Cinemas was a new series at IDFA this year, and in many ways, it was an experiment to see what invisible connections surface when an institution decides to transfer over its curatorial control to filmmakers. The idea is simple and compelling. It would be a series of films and conversations with filmmakers who have inspired one another, and the day would follow this chain of inspiration, with each filmmaker selecting the works of the next. The series was planned months in advance and formally announced in September; in the very first announcement the festival made about its program - it reported that the event would kick off with Sky Hopinka and include Basma al-Sharif, Jumana Manna, Ibrahim Shaddad and Abderrahmane Sissako. In this episode, Farah, Julian, and I run through the events leading up to Corresponding Cinemas as we experienced them on the ground. We first discuss the opening night and the release of IDFA's statement apologizing for a protest banner that appeared during the ceremony and condemning a slogan that was on the banner proclaiming it should not be used in any way and by anybody anymore - despite a recent ruling by the Dutch Court of Appeals that this is not considered hate speech. In response to IDFA denouncing this slogan, Jumana Manna, Basma al-Sharif, and Sky Hopinka circulated a joint statement refusing to comply with IDFA's statement the evening before their participation in Corresponding Cinemas. The series took place, and Farah, Julian, and I recount how the day unfolded, detailing how each filmmaker used their screenings in different ways to transform a cinema space into a forum for urgent, meaningful, and needed exchanges. TIMECODES:0:00  INTRO & GUEST INTROS 4:23: OPENING NIGHT + IDFA STATEMENT12:30 CORRESPONDING CINEMAS - FILMMAKERS REFUSAL TO COMPLY  14:30  SKY HOPINKA SESSION17:40 BASMA AL-SHARIF SESSION25:14  JUMANA MANNA SESSION39:10 IBRAHIM SHADDAD SCREENING SESSION 43:12 SOLIDARITY ACTIONS FOLLOWING CORRESPONDING CINEMAS STATEMENTS REFERENCED:Opening Night: Workers for Palestine Intervention IDFA Statement #1: IDFA and Artistic Director's Statement about the Opening Night IDFA Statement #2: IDFA Calls for an Immediate Ceasefire I/We Do Not Comply - Artists' Refusal IDFA Statement #3: A Message from IDFA to the Documentary Community RELATED PODCAST EPISODESOrwa Nyrabia on Corresponding Cinemas, Docs in Orbit, Episode 71 Jumana Manna on Docs in Orbit, Episode 44Basma al-Sharif on Docs on Orbit,  Episode 27 For show notes, visit docsinorbit.com and be sure to follow us on social media @docsinorbit

Today is the first day of the 36th edition of IDFA, the world's largest documentary film festival - a twelve-day event in Amsterdam featuring more than 250 titles in 22 sections. Earlier this week, I sat with Orwa Nyrabia, the Artistic Director of the festival, to speak with him about the role, responsibility and relevancy of film festivals and how IDFA is meeting the current moment. We also discuss some of the new sections in the program, including SPECIAL SCREENINGS,  SIGNED, and the highly anticipated introduction of CORRESPONDING CINEMAS, a unique program featuring a series of films from filmmakers who have inspired one another, including Sky Hopinka, Basam al-Sharif, Jumana Manna, Ibrahim Shaddad, and Abderahmane Sissako.  We end the conversation with an amusing story of how Wang Bing came to be this year's Guest of Honor. [Image from the short film, Deep Sleep by Basma Al Sharif, which is screening in the Corresponding CInemas section on Saturday 11 November]Time codes and Films Referenced00:03:30 How is IDFA meeting the current moment00:08:22 Films in the Program on Orwa's mindOccupied City (2023) by Steve McQueenSocialist Realism (2023) by Raul RuizArna's Children (2003)00:12:00  SPECIAL SCREENINGS00:13:34  SIGNED00:16:28 16 WORLDS ON 16, including works by Agnes Varda, Sarah Maldoror, Chantal Akerman, Maya Deren, Robert Frank, and The First Year (1972) by Patricio Guzman and First Case.

Voices across borders: Basma Almaza on being miles away from her family who is in war-ravaged Gaza by Radio Islam

What does the post-AI era hold? And what do these kinds of conversations look like in the context of the Arab world? In this captivating conversation, Basma Hamdy sheds light on everything AI and the Arab world, from ethics to art. What are ownership, originality and intellectual ownership? How will AI impact the visual arts? How are ethics going to be re-defined? Why is Arabic-language processing lagging behind? And what does algorithmic bias have to do with it? Basma delineates between the pre and post-AI worlds, pressing for an adaptation of our principles and ethical frameworks that takes the changing landscape into account. We reflect on the influence of Western modernity on the region's ethics and how collaboration and cooperation may be re-centered in this new AI age. As well as on what skills are going to be lost and gained for the AI-native generation.Basma Hamdy is an assistant professor of Graphic Design at VCUarts Qatar. She is a research-based designer, author and educator producing work that bridges historical, political and social issues with archival, documentarian, participatory and critical mechanisms. She collaborated with Don Karl to research and document the creative output of the Egyptian Revolution in the book “Walls of Freedom: Street Art of the Egyptian Revolution”. She is currently working on her second book, Found Khatt, in collaboration with Noha Zyed, which documents found typography across Egypt. The Qatar Foundation is a not-for-profit organization which brings together centers and programs focused on education, research and innovation, and community development. Watch our previous conversation with Basma as part of a panel for Tasmeem 2022: Radical Futures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1sX1pVqpKU ****** ABOUT THE SERIES ****** afikra Conversations is our flagship program featuring long-form interviews with experts from academia, art, ‎and media who are helping document and/or shape the histories and cultures of the Arab world through their ‎work. Our hope is that by having the guest share their expertise and story, the community still walks away with new ‎found curiosity - and maybe some good recommendations about new nerdy rabbit holes to dive into head first. ‎Following the interview there is a moderated town-hall style Q&A with questions coming from the live virtual audience ‎on Zoom.‎ Join the live audience: https://www.afikra.com/rsvp Watch all afikra Conversations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ****** ABOUT AFIKRA ******‎ afikra | عفكرة is a movement to convert passive interest in the Arab world to active intellectual curiosity.

This classic episode of 48 Hours, which last aired on 9/25/2004, tells the story of two boys who write a screenplay involving murder, but is it fiction or a confession? The 1994 murders of the Rafay family — Sultana Rafay, her husband Tariq, and their autistic daughter, Basma — focused on the pursuit and arrest of the two primary suspects: Atif Rafay, the only surviving family member, and his friend Sebastian Burns, who took refuge in Canada and had written the script for a film called “The Great Despisers,” whose plot paralleled the 1994 murders.

Different pills differ in type of progestin and dosage ii) Progestin-only contraceptives like emergency contraceptive pill (Plan B)- (delays ovulation); there are also progestin-only pills for regular use iii) Injectible contraceptives iv) Implant contraceptives v) Intra-Uterine Devices (IUDs) 3) Some common side effects of HBC: decreased sex drive, increase in anxiety and depression 4) To have a better experience with HBC use, Dr Faris says we should all ask ourselves "What am I trying to accomplish by being on contraceptives?" and communicate this to our doctors 5) Nutrition guidelines to support our bodies (in general but also especially if using HBC): i) Avoid refined carbohydrates ii) Get enough healthy fats in the diet iii) Avoid too much alcohol iv) Get enough fiber 6) Signs your contraceptive isn't working well for you: i) Changes in skin (like acne, facial hair) that you didn't have before ii) Weight changes (including water retention) iv) Mood changes 7) Expectations of starting HBC; there may be: i) Decreased libido ii) Vaginal dryness iii) Changes in bowel function iv) irregular bleeding during the first few months or blood clot risk 8) Is post-pill PCOS a thing? Dr Faris says we're not sure yet 9) If you're experiencing amenorrhea after coming off the pill (6+ months) your body fat may be too low 10) Dr Faris' starting questions to ask about HBC: i) What are my contraceptive options? (ALL of them) ii) Is there anything about me (the patient) that you think should steer me towards one vs the other? Why? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/curious-women/support
