Eye on The Western
Sahara - A Talk with Sahrawi Human Rights Defender Aminatou
Haidar
When: Monday November 17, 2008 from 4:15-6:00 PM
Where: Methodist Building; 100
Maryland Avenue, NE; Conference Room 1
Refreshments will be served.
Please join the Institute for Policy Studies, Africa Faith and Justice Network, and the Robert F. Kennedy Center
for Justice and Human Rights (RFK Center) in welcoming the 2008 RFK Human Rights Award
Laureate, Aminatou Haidar, at a public talk on human rights and women in the
struggle for justice in Western Sahara.
Ms. Haidar will speak about challenges she has encountered in her work as
a human rights defender and address issues raised during the Moroccan
truth-seeking experience over the past several years, notably the failures of
the Moroccan Equity and Reconciliation Commission (IER) to address the human
rights abuses and grievances of victims in the Western
Sahara.
In addition to commenting on her activism and the Moroccan IER, Ms. Haidar will
also share her thoughts on how redress, truth, and justice are challenged in
zones marked by contested national identities, border disputes, and
"security" issues.
