"There are in fact different kinds of Arab feminism. It is not just one thing."

— Dr. Nadine Naber, "Arab Feminism is Not an Oxymoron"

Dr. Naber's Ted Talk "Arab Feminism is Not an Oxymoron" illustrates how stereotypical understandings of both “Arab culture” and “feminism” lead many people to believe that Arab feminism is an oxymoron. Naber reframes this limiting belief to offer a new framework that allows people not only to understand that Arab feminism exists, but also that there are in fact, many different kinds of “Arab feminism.

Watch "Arab Feminism is Not an Oxymoron": https://www.ted.com/talks/nadine_naber_arab_feminism_is_not_an_oxymoron

In honor of , Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity is spotlighting Arab and Arab American feminists and women activists on our social media accounts throughout April.

Do you have a woman or organization you’d like us to highlight?

Contact ETCWGE through DM or email at [email protected] to share your favorite feminist or woman with ties to the Arab world!
