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.

Women’s Economic Empowerment in MENA Countries

2017.28.12. Casa Árabe hosted the presentation of this report published by the OECD, analyzing the impact of legal frameworks on the economic empowerment of women in Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. Casa Árabe the Spanish International Cooperation and Development Agency (AECID) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) are presenting the report “The Economic Empowerment of Women in a Selection of MENA Countries: The impact of the legal frameworks on Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia,” published last October by the OECD. In the MENA region, women account for more than half of the available labor force. Their level of education is constantly increasing, and they aspire to play a more active role in their countries’ economies. However, rates of women’s participation in the labor market and business remain at some of the lowest levels in the world. The report analyzes how the current legal frameworks in Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia are impacting women in different ways when they take part in economic life, whether as employees or businesspeople. It is based on a comparative analysis of the legislation in these countries. The report acknowledges the important advancements that have taken place in recent years in certain Arab countries, especially after the uprisings of 2011, with the implementation of constitutional and institutional reforms and a strengthening of women’s status. Despite these changes, ensuring enough opportunities for women is still a challenge in the six countries analyzed. The report suggests that the current discriminatory situation is a result of the convergence of a series of factors: the existence of certain still discriminatory laws against women, contradictions between different legal frameworks, a lack of any mechanisms for their implementation and a range of barriers which women face in gaining access to justice. It recommends dealing with these challenges through policies aimed at helping live up to the potential that these women hold within, while promoting inclusive growth, competitiveness and social development. The results of the report will be presented by the report’s strategic director, Carlos Conde, coordinator of the MENA-OECD Governance Program, and Luis Tejada, Director of the AECID.

Arte y conflicto: retos y perspectivas de la creación artística en la Libia actual

Con motivo de la exposición "Rastreando un paisaje. Creación contemporánea en Libia", Casa Árabe organizó el 4 de octubre de 2018 esta mesa redonda, en la que participaron la comisaria y dos de las artistas de la muestra. El acto contó con las intervenciones de Najlaa El-Ageli, comisaria de la exposición, y las artistas Takwa Abo Barnosa y Hadia Gana. Presenta y modera: Nuria Medina, coordinadora de Cultura de Casa Árabe Esta mesa redonda analiza el papel de artistas y productores culturales en Libia a la luz de los acontecimientos y las incertidumbres actuales que afectan al país. Trataremos de conocer de cerca cuál es el contexto para el arte y la creación en un país cuya historia moderna y contemporánea ha sido compleja y muy desconocida para el público español. Las participantes en la mesa analizaron los problemas más importantes que afectan a las instituciones culturales y artistas de Libia y debatieron sobre las perspectivas para los jóvenes creadores que han desarrollado sus carreras al calor de los movimientos revolucionarios de 2011, las conocidas “primaveras árabes”, habiendo contribuido con su trabajo y su actividad a la consolidación de un sentido de ciudadanía y participación. Najlaa El-Ageli, comisaria de la exposición, es fundadora de la entidad Noon Arts Projects, dedicada a dar visibilidad y voz a la escena del arte y la creación contemporáneas de su país de origen, Libia. Junto a ella, intervinieron en la mesa redonda dos de las artistas que participan en la exposición "Rastreando un paisaje que desaparece", y que se han desplazado a Madrid desde Trípoli con este motivo. Hadia Gana es especialista en cerámica y en instalaciones. Realiza una obra cargada de crítica social y plantea cuestiones relativas a la sociedad libia tales como la corrupción, el trauma posrevolucionario o la memoria colectiva de la historia moderna social y cultural de Libia. Su trabajo ha sido expuesto ampliamente fuera de Libia. Hadia es actualmente directora de la Fundación Ali Gana, creada en memoria de su padre, un reputado intelectual libio que trabajó por la preservación del patrimonio cultural del país. La fundación prepara la apertura del Museo Ali Gana en Trípoli con la misión de proporcionar un espacio artístico, cultural y educativo abierto para todos. Takwa Abo Barnosa, la artista más joven de la muestra, y también residente en Trípoli, es especialista en caligrafía árabe, arte que fusiona con todo tipo de técnicas mixtas, sobre todo la impresión digital de imágenes de actualidad y de interés periodístico referidas a Libia. En su obra, Barnosa aborda el estado actual del caos político, la anarquía y el desorden general. En 2015 fundó junto con Abdullah Turkie, la WaraQ Art Foundation, una organización no gubernamental que busca fortalecer la cooperación e intercambio cultural y artístico entre Oriente Medio y el norte de África.
