The Cause - Women in Arab Societies:

We at Al-Hasnaa Magazine believe that women’s issues are today a cause common to all Arab communities, and that one of the major prerequisites for the continued advancement of Arab societies is that women should be free of all restraints so that they can play a leading role in economic and social development at all levels and in all fields.

In line with the growing trend towards openness and economic and social reform across the Arab world, the last decade or so has seen the gradual emergence of a new Arab woman after years of under-representation in all walks of life. The new Arab woman is more educated and empowered, and engaged in a whole spectrum of political, social, business and cultural activities and positions.

Arab women are increasingly at the center of this ongoing transformation and major players in it. As business leaders and executives, political and social activists, wealth holders and investors, consumers, and mothers, they are a growing force to reckon with and to take account of.
