You are invited to a presentation by Dr Suhair Al-Quraishi, Dean of Dar Al-Hekma College, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Dr Al-Qarashi will talk about the changing face of Saudi Arabia for women - the life her mother lead, the life she leads and the future she sees for the next generation.

Dar Al-Hekma is the first women's college in the Kingdom to invite undergraduates to study the law.
