Institute For Middle East Studies

As part of Women’s History Month, GW’s Institute for Public Diplomacy and Global Communication and the Institute for Middle East Studies will host a panel discussion to examine the complex question of how women have fared since the promising beginning of the Arab Spring three years ago.
