AHJ, the Humanitarian Aid and Journalism organisation, is excited to announce its upcoming Live Podcast Event in Erbil supported by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and the German Federal Foreign Office:
This event will be held and recorded at Rotana Arjaan Hotel on 28th November 2023, from 4pm to 7pm (Erbil local time) and will bring together in the same studio, the voices of its formers and new beneficiaries from across the Middle East!
For the first time, AHJ’s beneficiaries from Yemen, Iraq, and Syrian refugees will be together for the first time in the AHJ’s studio in Erbil to unite their voices and discuss subjects that concern them as women journalists and activists such as their place in media and the role of women in environmental action.

During this exceptional live podcast event, and with the active participation of AHJ’s trainees from different countries, and in the presence of representatives of our funding partners as well as other institutions, we will celebrate the accomplishments of the first Yemeni cohort of Women's Voices Without Borders - WVWB project.
We are proud to announce on this occasion, that Women's Voices Without Borders has recently been selected as one of 50 resolutions for peace and stabilisation worldwide by the Paris Peace Forum 2023.
Between each panel discussion, we are proud to defend freedom of expression through art and feature a special musical guest performer, Norshin Saleh, a young musician from Syria based in Erbil.
The WVWB Live Podcast Event is prepared, recorded, and produced by AHJ’s team with the full participation of our trainees.
