Alsfeld to host course on Iranian women's rights and culture

The vhs des Vogelsbergkreises is hosting an educational course titled ‘Perspectives from Iran: Women's Rights, Culture and Resistance’ on October 23 in Alsfeld, Germany. Part of Intercultural Week, the session aims to provide insights into the socio-political reality of women in Iran from antiquity to the present.

The course will examine milestones in women's rights, including the impact of tradition, religion, and law on daily life. A central focus will be placed on the experiences of Sahar Ajdamsani, an Iranian artist living in exile in Germany. Her biography and artistic works will be used to explore themes of identity, censorship, resistance, and solidarity.

The session, which includes audio and video elements, will be conducted in English and requires participants to have language proficiency. Registration is required by October 16.
