The Chief Executive of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre has stepped down. It follows an independent review which found the centre failed to protect women-only spaces. It was commissioned by Rape Crisis Scotland - after an employment tribunal found the centre in Edinburgh had unlawfully discriminated against an employee - who believed sexual assault victims should be able to choose the sex of those supporting them. Anita Rani hears more from Lorna Gordon, the BBC's Scotland correspondent. Karen Maguire received an out-of-court settlement from South Lanarkshire Council last year after her adoption of a two-year-old boy broke down. She won the payout after her lawyer argued that the council had failed to provide her with sufficient background information on the child and did not support her during the placement. Karen tells Anita why she has decided to speak out. And Anita also hears from Dr Polly Cowan from Scottish Adoption and Fostering, who has separately carried out research into child adoption breakdowns. Visual artist Bharti Kher's new exhibition, Target Queen at the Southbank Centre, features supersized bindis reimagined from their microscopic form to the macro size worn by the goddess, transforming the brutalist building into a powerful feminine force. Bharti joins Anita to discuss the exhibition. Director Fawzia Mirza joins Anita to talk about her feature film debut, The Queen of My Dreams. Set across Karachi and Canada, the film follows Azra, a queer aspiring actress who clashes with—and ultimately reconciles with—her conservative Pakistani mother. Partly inspired by Fawzia's own life, it explores the bonds between mothers and daughters and how gay brown girls can also have an epic Bollywood-style romance.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

Son œuvre est composée d'une quinzaines de titres, dont des essais tels que «Ce voile qui déchire la France», des romans comme «La retournée» et un récit «Le corps de ma mère» (Prix des Cinq Continents de la francophonie). Elle est aussi l'une des fondatrices du «Parlement des écrivaines». (Rediffusion)   "Une fillette grandit dans l'ombre d'une famille traditionnelle et dans la soumission à une mère toute-puissante. Mais ce coin de Tunisie rurale est bousculé par la modernité, avec l'avènement de l'Indépendance, le départ des colons français, l'arrivée de Bourguiba, l'école obligatoire pour les filles. Alors l'enfant, destinée à vivre et à mourir voilée et analphabète comme ses sœurs aînées, va, première de sa tribu, prendre le long chemin de l'émancipation. Le prix à payer sera lourd pour celle qui devra se libérer des sortilèges, des interdits et des secrets maternels." (Présentation des éditions Plon)

In this podcast, drawn from an interview at the IBA's Global Showcase event in late 2021, Fawzia Koofi speaks about the devastating impact of the Taliban takeover, particularly on women's rights and religious minorities. She also addresses the US withdrawal from the country and shares her views on the role of the international community in the crisis. Koofi is a prominent Afghan politician and activist, who was nominated in 2020 for the Nobel Peace Prize for her role in representing the Afghan government in negotiations with the Taliban and her work to uphold women's rights in the country.  Formerly a member of the Afghan Parliament and the Vice-President of the National Assembly, she is now the leader of a newly established political party, Movement for Change for Afghanistan – and the first woman to lead a political party in the country.  The situation in Afghanistan remains volatile. As reports reveal up to 8 million people are facing starvation, Koofi's hopes and fears for the country's future are all the more significant. 

In this episode of Lowy Institute Conversations, former deputy speaker of the Afghan parliament and women's rights activist Fawzia Koofi joins Lowy Institute Research Fellow Lydia Khalil for a discussion on the heartbreak of leaving Afghanistan, the prospects for the country under Taliban rule, and the future of human rights in the country. Ms Koofi was previously a member of the Afghan delegation negotiating peace with the Taliban in Doha Qatar. This interview was originally scheduled in August 2021. However, Ms Koofi was placed under house arrest as the Taliban consolidated their hold over Kabul following the US military withdrawal from the country. It was not until she could negotiate her evacuation that she was able to speak.

Afghanistan is headed towards a full-blown humanitarian and economic crisis, with its health system on the brink of collapse. Christiane Amanpour is joined by Fawzia Koofi, a former Afghan politician who was part of the negotiating team with the Taliban, and Mary-Ellen McGroarty, the World Food Programme's director for Afghanistan. Then, Kimberlé Crenshaw is world-renowned for her work on the intersection between sexism and racism. She discusses the true meaning of "intersectionality" and what R Kelly's recent conviction means for society. And finally, Walter Isaacson speaks to former four-star general Stanley McChrystal, who's drawn on his experience as commander of the American and coalition forces in Afghanistan in his new book "Risk: A User's Guide."   To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Fawzia Mirza AKA Ayesha Trump, storyteller, actor, and director, (oh, yeah, AND lawyer) joins us to talk about all the transformations we make as humans in order to learn our personal identity. It's not just queer Muslims who have to come out--we all have to decide at some point who and what we are going to be. The path is unique, just like us.

Fawzia Mirza (Her Story; Signature Move) started out as an actor, but soon realized that the roles available to queer, Muslim, South Asian women were not exactly...plentiful. So she began writing her own work, with the goal of centering folks who are all too often just "friends of the center story." We discuss the pressure put on queer female relationships to be EVERYTHING, and the difficulty of having your entire queer identity tied to your very first partner. Also, Fawzia's "Summer of Lesbianism!"  

La caída de Kabul hace poco más de medio mes representó un fracaso para todas las partes occidentales involucradas y para los que creyeron en una nueva nación y quedaron abandonados a su suerte. Esta segunda parte es la conclusión de 4 puntos de vista muy distintos pero unidos por un solo destino. Las historias de Freshta, Fawzia, Khairulla y Austin Miller llegan a una conclusión. ¿Comedia periodística? ¿Periodismo Satírico? ¿Un disparo de nieve? ¿una luz cegadora?

Fawzia Koofi began her political career after the fall of the Taliban in 2001. Her focus: promoting girls' rights to education and protecting children from violence, exploitation and abuse. She has survived assassination attempts, but not even that stopped her from advocating for the rights of women in her country. Now, with the Taliban back in control and in the wake of the United States withdrawal, Koofi left her country and is being hosted in Qatar. Is her fight for the rights of Afghan women over? Afghanistan's former Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Fawzia Koofi, talks to Al Jazeera.

Dans ce 174 ème épisode, Marie Bongars te raconte la vie de Fawzia Koof, l'une des seules femmes du pays à négocier avec les Talibans.

Fawzia Koofi, Afghan politician and former Head of the Afghan National Assembly, discusses the role of Afghan women, Afghans' expectations of the international community, and the impact of international media reporting on the situation on the ground. In light of the recent military withdrawal of US, Australian and other international forces from Afghanistan, and as the Taleban has gained control of territory and attacked communities across the country, now having taken control of Kabul, the Whitlam Institute seeks to raise awareness - in Australia and beyond - of the situation in Afghanistan today. Through our policy research on Australia in the World, we produced this podcast with eminent experts, officials and community leaders to ensure their voices are heard here in Australia – these interviews were conducted in the days leading up to the Taleban's capture of Kabul. We have been able to reach those in Afghanistan and they have asked us to continue to release these perspectives. We are incredibly humbled and grateful that they have shared them. There is an important conversation to be had about Australia's moral responsibility to continue to support the Afghan people as they face this terrible new reality. What are Afghans across the country and particularly vulnerable ethnic groups facing today? How are women's rights being affected? What do Afghans seek from the international community to support them? How can Australia be part of that international effort?

As the international community watches in shock as the Taliban takes control of Afghanistan at lightening speed and people frantically try escape the country, we take a look at what this means for the country and their political future. First, Taliban Spokesperson Suhail Shaheen joins Christiane Amanpour to answer questions about what will happen to the Afghan people now they're in control. Then former Afghan lawmaker Fawzia Koofi speaks from the ground about the fear spreading amongst ordinary citizens and the reality that awaits women and girls. While former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says he supports the decision to withdraw, he explains that the White House underestimated the Afghan government's weakness. And British MP Tom Tugendhat, an Afghan veteran, argues the sudden withdrawal throws fuel on the fire of Afghanistan's 40-year war.

From February 16, 2013: Fawzia Koofi (website, Twitter) is an Afghan Member of Parliament and Vice President of the Afghan National Assembly. She is also running for President of Afghanistan in the planned April 2014 elections, and would be the first female president in Afghan history. She has a remarkable backstory: Born as the nineteenth of her father's twenty-three children, Koofi was left to die from exposure as a baby girl. She survived and witnessed during her childhood father's and brother's deaths from political unrest. She was forced to leave medical school when the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 1996 and banned the education of women and girls, and, soon after her own daughters were born, her husband died from tuberculosis he contracted while a political prisoner in a Taliban jail. After the new Afghan government was formed after the 2001 U.S.-led invasion, Koofi ran for and won a seat in the Afghan parliament. She currently represents the Badakshan region in northeastern Afghanistan and is a leading advocate for the rights of women and girls. Koofi has also written a recently published memoir, The Favored Daughter, about her life and her journey into politics.Koofi delivered the closing remarks at the Harvard Women's Law Association's annual conference. (Special thanks to the association's president and conference organizer, Stephanie Davidson, for arranging the interview.) Alan Rozenshtein spoke with Koofi at her snowed-in hotel about the current state of Afghanistan and the challenges facing her country. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Arts advocate Patrick Moore of Montevideo was inspired by Nicole Zempel's nature photography currently on display at the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council's gallery in Marshall. Zempel's up-close photographs of mushrooms, lichen, moss, and slime mold blend science and art in a way that is both familiar and otherworldly. “I just kind of get blown away by these photos,” said Moore. “I can't believe that these are real, that this is something that you will find within 10 miles of my house. She has an exceptional eye.” Courtesy of Nicole Zempel | Southwest Minnesota Arts Council A close-up shot of slime mold spores taken by Nicole Zempel. The exhibit runs through June 25, with a virtual tour available on YouTube. Theater director Addie Gorlin-Han recently attended Fawzia Khan's “Becoming Visible” exhibit at Hopkins Center for the Arts. Khan received a 2020 Minnesota Artist Initiative Grant to interview 12 Minnesota women with a broad range of identities. Photo by Fawzia Khan “Becoming Visible” by Fawzia Khan In several works, women's eyes framed by rectangles are embroidered onto dish towels, “a symbol of traditional gender roles,” according to a statement by the artist. Viewers learn about the women through written and video first-person accounts. “The reason the piece is so moving is the way in which Fawzia has successfully made each of these Minnesota women and each of their stories visible,” said Gorlin-Han. Additional sculptures grapple with questions of gender-assigned roles and immigration as well as the pandemic and the murder of George Floyd.  The exhibit runs through June 19 at the Hopkins Center for the Arts. An accompanying video is on YouTube. Courtesy of Anne Pryor “Protectors” Lovitude Soul painting by Anne Pryor. Minneapolis photographer Wendy Blomseth appreciates the work of visual artist Anne Pryor, on display at the Everett & Charlie Gallery in Minneapolis. Blomseth is fascinated by how Pryor makes her work. A former watercolor artist, Pryor now uses alcohol ink on acetate. After adding the ink, she manipulates the color on the canvas by blowing it through a straw, “and makes the designs and shapes by moving with her breath.” She then adds essential oils, which add texture and scent to the works. “So you get the tactile effect on the painting but then you also get the scent,” Blomseth said. Pryor will be demonstrating her process at Everett & Charlie from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. Correction (June 11, 2021): The date of Anne Pryor's demonstration was incorrect in an earlier version of this story. The article has been updated.

« Quand les femmes feront la guerre, elle s’appellera la paix », Fawzia Zouari est une femme d’une belle volupté. Une femme qui veut écrire et lire. Mais elle est née avec cette flamme. Cette flamme que n’avaient peut-être pas ses sœurs ou ses voisines. Cette petite flamme, elle ne l’a pas choisie mais elle l’a regardée en face. Elle s’est battue pour obtenir un passeport pour la liberté. Elle s’est levée contre le relativisme, la vulgarité, et la violence. Elle vous dit : « c’est la femme qui donne la vie. Ce que vous ne possédez pas vous le rejetez, vous le diabolisez parce que ça relève du mystère pour vous. Les hommes ne peuvent pas à accéder au mystère, alors ils accablent les femmes de tout, l’impureté, l’hystérie, le désordre… » Cette flamme a embrasé le regard de ses opposants quand elle dénonçait le port du voile, quand elle pleurait les attentats commis par ceux de son sang. Il y a chez Fawzia Zouari une élégance sensuelle et érudite qui ne cède rien au combat. Elle a toujours voulu être une femme libre, mais en lisant Emma Bovary.

Time Stamps:1:41 – Catherine started ballet at age 9, but had to stop after about 10 years due to an accident. She then became involved in aerobics which led her into gym training, where she began training for and competing in fitness figure competitions. There is immense pressure in that sport to use performance enhancing drugs, but she never did. Instead, she committed wholeheartedly to body shaping through nutrition, diet, and exercise. Catherine is now a Pilates instructor at ARC.7:40 – Catherine describes her diet leading up to fitness figure competitions.9:34 – She is passionate about Pilates because of her experience trying other modalities and her recognition of the merits and benefits that Pilates provides over other workouts. She specifically trains her clients in studio Pilates, which uses various apparatus to aid in the training.12:25 – Mahdi asks if there is any relationship between Pilates and CrossFit, and Catherine describes what Pilates is and what it is not.14:18 – Pilates was created in 1902 by Joseph Pilates as a series of corrective exercises that focus the body, mind, and spirit, which he called “Contrology”. It was originally intended to be a workout for men to be able to control their breathing, and it had its most notable initial results in 1914 at the Isle of Man POW camp. In 1916, Joseph Pilates opened up a studio in New York City that mainly served dancers and artists. Originally, regular participants in Pilates knew the specific order of exercises and did their workout with very little interaction with each other or the instructor. 20:31 – Mahdi mentions that Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek recovered from a serious injury using Pilates, so he wonders about its integration with sports. Catherine explains that “how you stand is how you land” and that Pilates helps strengthen the muscles that keep the skeleton upright using specific tension. She also explains that strengthening the smaller muscles will in turn strengthen the larger muscles, improving the body's resiliency.24:16 – Liam has been doing a lot of accessory work lately, and he has seen what Catherine is describing in his own life. 27:02 – In response to Mahdi's question about how Pilates could make him a better athlete or give him a competitive advantage, Catherine explains that Pilates creates a balance where there is otherwise an imbalance. For instance, if you are right-handed, it is likely that the muscles on your left side are weaker and less developed, so Pilates would help both sides become equally stronger. 29:07 – Liam talks about the benefit that he has noticed from his accessory work and lifting in a different plane of motion.30:08 – While the Pilates classes at ARC are only for women, Catherine says that Fawzia has clinical Pilates that is open to men.32:20 – One of the biggest misconceptions about Pilates is that it is only for healthy and strong people. In fact, anyone and everyone can benefit from Pilates, no matter your age or physical condition. Mahdi agrees, saying that his aunt has been doing Pilates and has made great progress in reducing neck pain.36:27 – Catherine describes the perfect programming for an athlete as well-structured, including Pilates, cardio, yoga, and functional exercises. She recommends Pilates 3 times per week and never in the same day as another workout. There are group classes as well as private sessions available depending on your needs.39:57 – Mahdi asks about specific Pilates exercises that he could inject into his other workouts, and Catherine says that after a private session, the instructor will be able to give you a few key exercises that will be beneficial for you.Support the show (https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl8NPB2H4Mf/?igshid=1m9w8d28oarlu&utm_source=fb_www_attr)
