Shereen El Feki - Sex and the Citadel

Sep 16, 2013
53:20

As political change sweeps the streets, parliaments and presidential palaces of the Arab world, Shereen El Feki has been looking at the upheaval inside the family home -- specifically, in the bedroom, and the sexual lives of Arab men and women. Sex is entwined in religion and tradition, politics and economics, making it the perfect lens for examining the region's complex social landscape.

Shereen El Feki is an award-winning journalist with The Economist, and a broadcaster and writer who began her career in medical science before becoming the vice-chair of the UN's Global Commission on HIV and the Law.
