Newcomers and the difficulties they face.
The extent to which societies support females and many other points related to this topic that I will address with panelists.
I will publish a survey related to this topic before the session and ask members of the Arab communities to participate in it, and I will share the results during the session.
The session will take place when the panelists accept the invitation.
