Taking Sides – A Conversation about Love, War, and Changing the World

# Taking Sides – A Conversation about Love, War, and Changing the World

Taking Sides – a conversation about love, war, and changing the world, with war correspondent turned human rights activist Sherine Tadros.
War correspondent turned human rights activist Sherine Tadros discusses her new memoir Taking Sides about her journey from battlefields in the Middle East to working for Amnesty International at the United Nations.
From her first journalistic assignment trapped inside a war zone in the Gaza Strip to covering the Arab uprisings that changed the course of history, Tadros searched for ways to make a difference in people's lives. But it wasn't until her fiancé left her on their wedding day, and her life fell apart, that she found the courage to pursue her true purpose. It was the beginning of a journey leading to her current work for Amnesty International at the UN, where she lobbies governments to ensure that human rights are protected around the world.
Sherine will talk candidly about the struggles and limitations of journalism, as well as what it's like to be a human rights advocate in an environment of resurgent authoritarianism and inequality.
With - Sherine Tadros, Deputy Director of Advocacy & UN Representative for Amnesty International @SherineT
