The West Hollywood Library will host a panel discussion USA + Pakistan: Images of Women in Media and in Reality.  The panel will feature university students who are participating in a State Department program called Consciousness Raising of Pakistani Women on Contemporary Academic and Social Issues and are vising to share elements of Pakistani Society and Culture with Women groups and organizations in the USA with a vision to dismantle the misconceptions and stereotypes on both sides and work for inter-cultural dialogue and harmony. These students are members of Critical Thinking Forum, International Islamic University, Islamabad.
