From the video posted by Al-Ahdal on her YouTube channel
The Doha International Family Institute did not respond to the uproar sparked by Ms. Al-Ahdal s invitation and held the conference as planned. However, apparently due to pressure, it did try to downplay her participation by removing her from the list of main speakers and relegating her name and photo to a less conspicuous place in its web pages on the conference. The only response by anyone close to DIFI came from Amal bint Abd Al-Latif Al-Manna i, director of the Qatar Foundation for Social Work, which was also founded by the mother of the Qatari Emir and has collaborated with the DIFI since 2015. She defended the decision to include Ms. Al-Ahdal in the conference, saying that while she herself disagrees with her views, it is important to provide a platform for different opinions.
