Kinderen van migraten in Nederland
In het welvarende Nederland leeft momenteel één op de tien kinderen in armoede volgens het Sociaal
Cultureel Planbureau (SCP, 2011). “Armoede krijgt een kleur” zei politica K.Arib in 2009.
In armoede opgroeien vergroot de kans op een slechte gezondheid in de volwassenheid.
Deze harde feiten raken met name de kinderen in migrantengezinnen.
Hoe werkt dat? Kan je er iets tegen doen? Spelen er nog meer factoren een rol? Vragen die verschillende
disciplines betreffen: artsen, psychologen, pedagogen en politici...
Intussen worden professionals, die met kinderen werken, dagelijks geconfronteerd met deze feiten.
En met de opdracht om de veerkracht te herstellen van dat ene kind uit dat ene gezin van die ene
familie met die ene religie en die ene culturele positie. Zijn er lessen te leren uit deze hulp
aan 1 kind, 1 gezin, 1 familie?

Arab Spring and Gender: Opportunities and Obstacles
From Tunisia, Egypt and Libya to Yemen and Bahrain, women have been right in the middle of the
so-called "Arab Spring". Teachers, doctors, students, lawyers, bloggers and mothers, with or
without Hijab, have taken to the streets to challenge the authorities asking for freedom,
karama (dignity), work and bread. However these women will encounter many obstacles before
reaching their goal. In Egypt, the post-uprising era is definitely male-dominated.
Women who were at the forefront of the Tahrir-square uprising met sympathy as well as
counter-protesters chanting: “The people want to get rid of women”, a play on the main uprising slogan
“The people want to get rid of the regime.”
The situation is not different in Libya or Tunisia where the status of women in society
was the most enviable of the Arab world. The transition period is still dominated by men and women
who have to fight for keeping the rights they already had under the old regime.
The conference aims to pay attention to the political, social and economical situation of women
in different Arab countries after the Arab spring. It also aims at analyzing the role which Western
countries and especially the European Union can play to enhance the position of Arab women.
