Football Is a Girls’ Game: A meeting with three Arab women in football

Publicado el 10 de octubre 2022

Women’s football players Nouf Faleh Al Anzi (CD Leganés) and Yasmin Mrabet (FC Levante Las Planas) will be attending this meeting at Casa Árabe in Madrid on October 13, along with the former captain of the Palestinian national team Honey Thaljieh. The event will be moderated by journalist Lourdes García Campos. Sign up now to attend. Interest in women’s football has skyrocketed over the last two decades. The two most recent World Cups, held in Canada in 2015 and France in 2021, as well as the UEFA European Championship of 2022, were huge successes and raised women’s soccer to new levels. Casa Árabe, as part of the “Football for Hope” exhibition,” will be highlighting the role played by football in promoting social change by organizing this meeting with three Arab women football players. Nouf Faleh Al Anzi, a player on the national team from the Emirates and a midfielder for the Club Deportivo Leganés; Yasmin Mrabet, of the Levante Las Planas Football Club and Morocco’s national women’s team, and Honey Thaljieh, former captain of the Palestinian national team and now the Director of Corporate Communications at FIFA. The event will be moderated by Lourdes García Campos, an RTVE show host. Nouf Faleh Al Anzi is a midfielder on the senior women’s team of the Club Deportivo Leganés and a captain on the United Arab Emirates’ senior national team. At 25 years of age, she is one of the rising stars in Arab soccer. As well as playing an essential role in women’s soccer in her own country, Al Anzi is known for being the first Emirati woman to play the sport abroad professionally, having gone to Egypt in 2018 to play for the Wadi Degla team. Looking ahead to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Al Anzi appeared alongside players such as Karim Benzema in an Adidas campaign displayed at the Burj Khalifa to help launch “Al Rihla,” the official ball at this World Cup. Yasmin Mrabet is a member of the Levante Las Planas Football Club and Morocco’s national women’s team. The midfielder started playing for the Spanish national team, rising through the ranks to represent Spain at the 2018 UEFA U-19 Women’s Championship. She later changed her affiliation to Morocco and made her debut for the senior national team in 2021. On July 13, 2022, she scored the winning goal in the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final against Botswana, helping Morocco qualify for the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023 for the first time in its history. In addition to C.D. Levante Las Planas, Mrabet has played for Madrid CFF and Rayo Vallecano. Honey Thaljieh is a former captain of the Palestinian women’s national soccer team and is now the Director of Corporate Communications for FIFA. Born in Bethlehem, she was already kicking a ball at the age of 7. In addition to social and family constraints, she had to experience the desperation created by the two Palestinian intifadas against the Israeli occupation first hand. Given this situation, Thaljieh saw football as a way to vent her frustration, thus finding a way to build a future with some semblance of hope. After retiring in 2009, she became the first woman from the Middle East to earn a Master’s degree from the International Center for Sports Studies (CIES) in Switzerland in 2012.

Gender, minorities and refugees in Iraq (ARAB)

Pascale Warda, Iraq’s former Minister of Immigration and Refugees, gave this conference in Casa Árabe in Madrid. Since the first Gulf War, there have been various waves of refugees and internally displaced persons in Iraq. They now amount to nearly 3.5 million, of which 2.5 million came about in 2014 alone. Iraqi sources estimate that over 4 million people have lost their homes and have become internally displaced, including the unregistered internally displaced. Moreover, since June 2014, thousands of people belonging to minority groups have been murdered, maimed or kidnapped, including an unknown number of women and girls forced into marriage or sexual slavery. These abuses continue and seem to be part of a conscious attempt to eradicate Iraq’s religious and ethnic diversity. These violations are not only being committed by the Jihadists in Daesh. Given by: Pascale Warda, Iraq’s former Minister of Immigration and Refugees. Including the intervention of Ana Gil, a journalist and author of the book “Una rosa en Irak” (“A Rose in Iraq”). The event was presented by Karim Hauser, who is responsible for the Governance Area at Casa Árabe. More info: http://en.casaarabe.es/event/gender-minorities-and-refugees-in-iraq

Género, minorías y refugiados en Iraq (ESP)

Pascale Warda, ex ministra de Inmigración y Refugiados de Iraq impartió esta conferencia el 12 de enero de 2017 en la sede de Casa Árabe en Madrid. Desde la primera Guerra del Golfo, ha habido diversas oleadas de refugiados y desplazados internos en Iraq, que suman ya cerca de 3,5 millones, de los cuales 2,5 millones sólo en 2014. Fuentes iraquíes estiman que más de 4 millones de personas han perdido sus hogares y son desplazados internos, incluyendo a los desplazados internos no registrados. Además, desde junio de 2014, miles de personas pertenecientes a minorías han sido asesinadas, mutiladas o secuestradas, incluyendo un número desconocido de mujeres y niñas forzadas al matrimonio o a la esclavitud sexual. Estos abusos continúan y parecen ser parte de un intento consciente de erradicar la diversidad religiosa y étnica de Iraq. Estas violaciones no provienen únicamente de los yihadistas de Daesh. La conferencia corrió a cargo de Pascale Warda, exministra de Inmigración y Refugiados de Iraq, y contó con la intervención de Ana Gil, periodista y autora del libro “Una rosa en Irak”. El acto fue presentado por Karim Hauser, responsable de Gobernanza de Casa Árabe. Más información: http://www.casaarabe.es/eventos-arabes/show/genero-minorias-y-refugiados-en-iraq

Karen Armstrong visits Casa Árabe

The author, awarded the Princess of Asturias Award for Social Sciences (2017), gave a conference on "The Challenges Facing Islam in the Modern World". The current world is turbulent and complex, and many regions of the planet are immersed in crises and conflicts that Western public opinion associates with the religious fact, particularly Islam. Karen Armstrong will reflect on the origins of violence as historically associated with political power rather than religious beliefs. The academic will talk about Islam, its historical evolution in comparison with the other two great monotheistic religions, Christianity and Judaism. She will also tackle the relationship of Islam with the processes of modernization and secularization of societies, reflecting on the widespread assumption about the supposed incompatibility between Islam and democracy. We will know which are, from her point of view, the challenges that the 21st century faces from a global perspective and in the interest of a greater understanding among the different communities that inhabit the planet. We will try, ultimately, to shed some light on where should, both individuals and institutions, direct our actions. Karen Armstrong is the author of numerous books on religion, including A History of God, which became an international bestseller; The Battle for God, A History of Fundamentalism; Islam; Buddha; and The Great Transformation, as well as a memoir, The Spiral Staircase. Her work has been translated into 43 languages. She has addressed members of the US Congress on three occasions; lectured to policy makers at the US State Department. In 2006, she was invited by Kofi Anan to join the High-Level Group of the new UN Alliance of Civilisations; in 2008; She was awarded the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Medal; in 2009, she was awarded the TED Prize and with TED founded the Charter for Compassion, which is now a global movement. From 2008- 2016, she was a Trustee of the British Museum; in 2013, she was awarded the inaugural British Academy Al-Rodhan Prize for Improving Intercultural Relations; and in 2017, she was awarded the Princess of Asturias Award for Social Sciences.
