Feminist Edge highlight with Dr. Lina AbiRafeh

At the close of the 2025 programme, Feminist Edge hosted a special evening at KIT with guest speaker Dr. Lina AbiRafeh, joined by participants Woroud Albtoush and Norhan Bader. In a time of growing global backlash against women’s rights, Dr. AbiRafeh shared reflections from nearly 30 years of advancing gender equality worldwide. Drawing on her experience in the MENA region and her initiative Better4Women, she challenged us to move beyond traditional development and humanitarian approaches — and to build more inclusive, decolonised, and caring feminist solidarities. 🎥 Watch the highlight reel from this inspiring evening and see how the programme translates feminist theory into action, community, and leadership, with experts like Dr. AbiRafeh exemplifying these principles through her work.
