EP 3 : Intimate life in a changing Arab world - with Shereen EL FEKI - 🇬🇧

JINS means "sex" in Arabic. Just by saying it, some people will already say that I have gone too far. Why are we so afraid to talk about it that we prefer to keep quiet, to be frustrated, to hide? Are Arabs prudes? Everything in history tends to show the contrary. So, without making a comparative study between countries, is there really a pan-Arab anti-sexuality or is it more insidious and complex than that? Don't they also have the right to pleasure? 🙌 Shereen El Feki is a writer, journalist, broadcaster and academic. Shereen started her professional life in medical science, with a PhD in immunology from the University of Cambridge, and later worked as healthcare correspondent at The Economist. She also is a former vice chair of the United Nations' Global Commission on HIV and Law. While she has worked in regional media as a presenter with the Al Jazeera Network, and continues to write on social issues in the Arab world, her passion lies in projects that aim to better understand, and surmount, the social challenges facing Arabs, specifically young people. She’s most notable for her book Sex and the Citadel, that she wrote in 2013.🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to JINS podcast and to follow @jins_podcast on Instagram.🚀 Season 2 produced by Kikina Studio Hébergé par Acast.
