This video has been realized for COPEAM by Loredana Cornero, President of COPEAM Women Commission, in the framework of the meeting “Mimosa and jasmine. Women and web in the squares of the Arab world”, organised in collaboration with the GIO (Gender Inter-university Observatory) on the occasion of the International Women Day 2011. This event was a great opportunity to better understand the reasons of women participation in the Arab popular revolutions and the role played by the new media. The meeting was broadcast in streaming on three web TV (copeam.tv, uniroma.tv and roma3.it) and animated on line on the Facebook page “Mediterranean Women”.
