About Sawt Al Niswa:

As feminist publications, discourses and presence are gaining momentum in the Arab Region, Sawt Al Niswa would like to function as a pool of knowledge, hosting the various social and political commentaries of women in the process of questioning the kind of feminist discourse they want to speak and express themselves through. The voice(s) within the website contribute to the construction of an Arab feminist discourse reflecting a spectrum of Arab reality(ies).
