A Rafah screening of Kim Longinotto’s Arabic subtitled “Divorce Iranian Style” scheduled for today took place!!!  It was postponed from 10 to 11 a.m. in order to wait for the electricity.  The electricity did not come back.  The film was shown with electricity from a generator.  The lawyer was there for the discussion, and about 30 women eventually showed up at the Rafah’s Women Center. The discussion lasted for an hour-and-a-half!!!  Juice and cookies were bought for the discussion. more
