Transgender superstar and former Israeli Eurovision winner Dana International will candidly talk about her life with radio and TV presenter Yigal Ravid next Monday.

Hosted by Israel Bonds Women’s Division and World Zionist Organisation UK, the virtual event coincides with International Women’s Day.

The glittering singer – also known as Sharon Cohen – was born into a Yemenite-Jewish family in Tel Aviv and although assigned male at birth, identified as female from a young age. 

In 1998, she represented Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest held in Birmingham with the song Diva, achieving a clear win with 172 points. 

As the first trans winner of Eurovision, her hit song was released as a single in Europe, reaching number 11 in the UK charts.
