Greater Cairo Library hosts ‘Freedom Princesses & Conscious Mothers’ symposium

CAIRO – 25 March 2021: The Greater Cairo Library hosted the "Freedom Princesses and Conscious Mothers" symposium, which was organized by the Strategic Forum for Development and Social Peace.

The symposium was moderated by Assistant Editor-in-Chief of Al-Ahram and Secretary General of the Forum Samia Abu el-Nasr. The symposium was held as part of the celebration of the Egyptian Women's Day and Mother's Day. Mothers of the martyrs of the Egyptian police and army were honored.

The speakers in the symposium called for raising women’s awareness to confront the fourth generation wars that target our youth, and that they should have their own strategic imprint for development.

The writer Samia Abul-Nasr indicated that the symposium was keen to link the past and the present in terms of the past of women and their history of struggle over a hundred years; it also presented the most important female figures who played a prominent role in the history of the Egyptian women's movement, such as Hoda Shaarawy.
