It is open to the general public in addition to 91 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 DTSTART:20191024T204500Z DTEND:20191024T223000Z LOCATION:6th Floor\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\, 680 Sherbrooke St. W.
