On November 30, 2022, Savan Abdulrahman, our research assistant contributing to the Masculinity research project at CGDS, achieved success by winning a participation prize during the final conference of a three-year-long project between Sweden and Kurdistan. The project focused on "International Cooperation to Strengthen Democracy and Equality in Kurdistan.” We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Savan for this remarkable achievement.
As part of her accomplishments, Savan undertook her first documentary filmmaking endeavor, titled “Abortion at The Threshold,” under the supervision of Kurdish filmmaker Zahavi Sanjavi. The documentary was produced by IKKR-Women's Emergency Nina's Project, based in Sweden.
