Recanati-Kaplan Talks

Backsliding Democracies and Women’s Rights Around the World

Feb 28, 2024


Can a democracy where women have never been equal ever really thrive? How are attacks on democracy tied to gender equity? What can we learn from past fights to protect and expand women’s rights in order to chart a path forward?

Join us for a two-part virtual series to explore how women’s rights are inextricably tied to the integrity and durability of democratic institutions. This programming is a continuation of a collaboration between Ms. Magazine and NYU Law’s Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Center which can be viewed here.

It is being held as part of the celebration of Ms. Magazine’s 50th anniversary and the release of the new book, 50 Years of Ms.: The Best of a Pathfinding Magazine That Ignited A Revolution.

The first session addressed the domestic landscape and the state of equality, reproductive and gender justice in the U.S. Please join us for the second part, focusing on the global stage with experts weighing in from movements in Latin America, Ireland, and Central Europe.

Panelists include:
  • Suyen Barahona, Director, Women’s Political Leadership Fund
  • Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Professor of History and Italian Studies at NYU
  • Laleh Ispahani, Executive Director of Open Society-U.S.
  • Christine Ryan, Director of the Religious Liberty and Reproductive Rights Project at Columbia Law School’s Center for Gender & Sexuality Law
  • Regina Tamés, Deputy Director of the Women’s Rights Division at Human Rights Watch, Mexico City
