A group of female students from the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the Arab American University participated in the round table organized by the European Union delegation to support the Palestinian police, EUPOL COPPS, under the title “Inspiring Inclusion” on the occasion of International Women’s Day.
Hala Khreisat Haj Hassan, a student in the Ph.D. program in conflict resolution, Rasha Al Soqi, a student in the Ph.D. program in international relations, and Mimas Sulaiman, a student in the master’s program in international relations have participated in the event. This event focused on the role of women in institutional affairs and state building. The female students of AAUP participated in discussing this important topic from an academic and practical perspective.
The dialogue was inaugurated by the Interim Head of the delegation, Karin Limdal, who stressed the importance of linking the women, peace and security agenda with the youth, peace and security agenda. This is for the sake of discussing how Palestinian women can contribute as mediators of change in conflict environments during the process of building a peaceful and democratic state.
This participation comes within the framework of the AAUP’s strategy related to global participation in academic discussions, research and innovation. Moreover, it reflects the students’ commitment to making their contributions at the national, regional and international levels.
