Who We Are
We are a group of Arab gay women and home to all lesbians, inter-sex, queers, transsexual, transgender, questioning and bisexual women.
why us?
Together we unearthed the common grounds between us and were determined to provide an opportunity for all Arab gay women to promote self-empowerment, provide support, influence social upbringing and change public opinion about the concepts of sexuality, sexual orientation, gender and homosexuality and our sociopolitical rights as a minority group with a different sexual orientation.
our mission
Is to raise our voices to echo in the corridors of our society, promote our existence to raise public awareness, and create a safe environment for gay Arab women within our Arab and Palestinian society.
what we want
Our vision is to reach and build a network for all Arab gay women, and spread awareness within society to create a culture of acceptance and tolerance towards the issue of homosexuality.
what we do
We promote Arab gay women, support them on all personal and social levels, thus creating dialogue and change within our Arab Palestinian society towards homosexuality. In addition to the provision of moral support, we also conduct monthly meetings, offer support groups, provide a support and consultation line, implement empowerment sessions and awareness raising workshops, provide informational publications in Arabic and English, as well as an effective website and discussion forums.
