The association

Arab Women’s Solidarity Association Belgium is an association which is composed of men and women of Arab, Belgian and other origin.
Inspired by AWSA International, created in 1982 in Egypt by Nawal El Saadaoui, AWSA-Be is a feminist, secular and mixed association which takes action for the promotion of rights of women from the Arab world, whether they are living in their country of origin or elsewhere. The association is independent of any form of national, political or religious affiliation. Founded in June 2006 in Brussels, the association thus supports the liberation of women from any political, social, economic or religious domination. The association is a participant in several international and national networks and collaborates, on an ad hoc basis, with many organisations and associations. Moreover, AWSA-Be takes part in many cultural events, festivals and other activities that promote peace, equality and justice throughout the world.
