The panel on "The changing fabric of Iran", which was the last session of the Iran 360 conference, with a series of questions from the participants on different issues such as the activities of Iranian feminists, stereotypes, covering Iranian women's issues in Western media, why the women movement in Iran has avoided addressing issues such as Hijab, and coverage of HIV/Aids issues in the Iranian media.
Joyce Barnathan wrapped up the event by pointing to how the speakers helped discuss some myths and stereotypes about Iran. Some of the particpants also added that they were happy to see that the Iranian feminist movement is alive, how the foundations operate in Iran, how the money is flowing from Iran to Dubai, the role of oil in Iran's economy, and the nation's potentials.
Some participants said they would like to hear more about the people outside Tehran and other big cities, how to find real people for interviews, also hear from conservatives in the country, and Iran's relations with groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon. |
