Religion, traditions, the economy and war all play a role. Who are the agents of change, that are courageously fighting for “Women, Life, Freedom”? We invite you to join us for an inspiring, open meeting with some of these actors, as we last but not least ask: How can we support them from our location in Norway?
We are happy to introduce the panel, which features experts and activists:

- Hoda Khamosh, Afghan activist
The discussion will be moderated by:
