| “The Dom: Examining the Current Research Trends Across the Middle East and North Africa”
Scott Phillips, an independent researcher and contributor to the Kuri Journal of the DRC, will be facilitating a panel regarding the Dom at the World Congress for Middle
Eastern Studies in Barcelona on July 19-24, 2010. This panel will explore some of the current research and research trends. The combination of general disenfranchisement
and limited research creates a necessity to raise awareness about the issues faced by members of this ethnic minority, as well as encourage greater academic research with
the Dom. This panel represents an opportunity for scholars to come together to share their research of the Dom with others. It is also a chance to encourage those with an
interest in the MENA region to begin to address the issues facing this group in earnest. The individual papers presented at this panel will cover a wide range of disciplines,
but the panel as a whole, is aimed at raising awareness, sharing good practice and information, and presenting the current trends in research regarding the Dom.

Domari Society of Jerusalem Heath Care Lectures
The Domari Society is seeking sponsors for two health care lecture series. One will focus on Family Health Care. A topic of crucial importance in the Domari
community is health and nutrition for women and children, in a society where women are married early and have large families. The Domari Society is
proposing to offer a series of ten club-like meetings, in which women will hear lectures on women’s health, child development and psychology, nutrition
and medical care for women and young children. Each lecture, led by professional Arabic speaking nurses, will be an hour long, followed by an hour
of informal Q+A. The cost for each session is $320 ($3,200 needed for entire series).
The second series will be devoted to health and sexuality for Dom teen girls. Ms. Amoun Sleem, the director of the Domari Society, said that the goal
of this series is “to facilitate awareness and comfort amongst Dom teen girls regarding their bodies, sexuality, hygiene, and marriage practices.” Girls from ages
15-19 will participate in 6 sessions led by professional Abrabic speaking sex education specialists. Following each session, the girls will prepare and eat lunch
together. The needed budget for each session is $310 ($1,860 needed for entire series).
Please consider sponsoring one or more sessions of these important lecture series.
