Health Care Education [Environmental health, Physical health, Social health, Emotional health, Intellectual health, and Spiritual health] The purpose of health education is to positively influence the health behavior of individuals
as well as the living and working conditions that influence their health.
Muslim feminist Asra Nomani visited Faith Complex to discuss how the
infamous “Blue Bra” video has reversed honor/shame categories in the
Islamic world.
During the Tahrir Square uprisings in Cairo, onlookers captured this extremely disturbing video
of Egyptian military police brutalizing a female protester, dragging
her along the street so that her blue bra becomes visible in the course
of the beating. The incident sparked a wave of solidarity across Egypt
and the unnamed “blue bra girl” has become an icon
and rallying cry. Crucially, the Blue Bra Revolution also turns the
spotlight on what the role of women will be in the regimes arising out
of the Arab Spring.
Noted Muslim feminist, journalist, and author Asra Nomani returns to Faith Complex
in this interview with first-time host and School of Foreign Service
student Ghazi bin Hamed. Don’t miss Asra’s analysis of the Blue Bra
movement, the future of women’s rights in Egypt, and the paradox of
Islamic feminism.
