DESCRIPTION:This talk with Sally Armstrong is part of our Fall 2019 Policy 
 Lectures Series. It is open to the general public in addition to McGill fa
 culty and students. \n\nWe’ve gone from chastity belts to rape kits\, from
  flirting to sexting. There isn’t a sexual behaviour — from soldiers rapin
 g and pillaging in victory\, to movie moguls sexually assaulting young sta
 rs\, to free love and free choice of lover — that isn’t under the microsco
 pe today. Even Adam and Eve are being revisited.\n\nAbout Sally Armstrong
 \n\nSally Armstrong is sometimes called “the war correspondent for the wor
 ld’s women.” She’s also known as “La Talibanista.” She’s a journalist who 
 covers zones of conflict. Her beat is to find out what happens to women an
 d girls.\n\nAn award winning author\, journalist and human rights activist
  she’s a three-time winner of the Amnesty International Canada media award
 \; she holds ten honorary degrees and is a member of the Order of Canada. 
 Armstrong was the first journalist to bring the story of the women of Afgh
 anistan to the world and is relentless when it comes to exposing the abuse
  of women whether on an American university campus or a village in a war z
 one.\n\nMichele Landsberg\, author of Writing the Revolution describes her
  this way: “Striding into Taliban-held Afghanistan with a chador over her 
 six-foot frame\, playing high-fives with a traumatized child rape survivor
  in the Congolese jungle\, marching with the defiant grandmothers in Swazi
 land\, she explores the darkest reaches of women’s experience and brings b
 ack astonishing news of hope\, challenge and change. From Tahrir Square to
  LA\, Armstrong discovers that the sisters are doing it for themselves—and
  revolutionizing the world.”\n\n \n
