We are all college graduates with degrees in translation, literature, science, and philosophy. Through our work, we criticize and analyze key issues related to women without censorship. We provide alternatives for a more humane and civilized society where women are treated equally. We call out oppressive practices, and we also translate some of the most important articles about women’s issues from international media outlets. Seeing that we succeeded in our online writing and research project, we decided to take it a step further and begin helping women on the ground through a registered organization.
Our goals as a registered organization are:
- Providing shelter and support for women who underwent domestic violence In Europe.
- Partner with organizations in the Middle East and North Africa that help women undergoing domestic violence and abusive relationship there, or women fleeing honor killing and child marriages.
- Help refugee women coming from the Middle East and North Africa.
