V-DAY (Feb, 14th): A Global Movement To End Violence Against Women And Girls




V-DAY KARAMA


Karama, Arabic for dignity, supports a regional movement to end violence against women and is led by women activists from eight sectors: politics, economics, health, art/culture, education, media, law, and religion. With headquarters in Cairo and a regional office in Amman, Jordan, V-Day Karama builds networks within and across Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Morocco, Algeria, Syria, Sudan, and Tunisia, providing a structure for activists in the region to come together and build the movement for women’s equity and rights. 

The V-Day Karama Program head office supplies training, funding, and ongoing support to these diverse women’s networks. Multinational conferences and forums take place annually to serve as vehicles for fundraising, visibility, and inspiration.

Hi Pokyface,

Thanks for your support :P

I am not really a feminist, it's kinda different than and in contradiction in some ways and concepts with Qura'an teachings about women's rights, and I am just "pro" women's rights. :)
