‘Her whole heart and soul is in her work’: Feminist activist Yasmina Benslimane set to give impactful talk
Growing up in Rabat, Morocco, Yasmina Benslimane witnessed the strength and resilience of the women around her. Women who toiled in the fields with bare hands, walked miles to fetch clean water and endured forced marriages leading to lives of domestic servitude. These scenes, both inspiring and unsettling, left a lasting impact on Benslimane. "Seeing all of these injustices ignited a fire within, and that's when I started learning about feminism," Benslimane said. This “fire within” would ignite change that continues to influence communities around the world. On Monday, April 14, at 7 p.m. the University of Portland will welcome young feminist champion Yasmina Benslimane on Zoom from the Dundon-Berchtold Auditorium for the 2025 Mazzocco Lecture.
