About the event
Infectious-disease physician and human-rights advocate Hakima Himmich presents the autobiography co-written with Latefa Imane. From her childhood admiration for Morocco's pioneering aviator Touria Chaoui to her decades of work in public health, the book traces a life of civic commitment. A leading figure in Morocco's response to HIV/AIDS, she reflects on prevention, stigma and the dignity of people affected by the disease.

Cultural context
The autobiography is more than a chronological record of professional achievements. It considers how long-term commitments are built through personal convictions, medical responsibility and organised civic action. The conversation may interest readers of life writing as well as people concerned with public health, rights and the role of civil society.
