Since its launch in 2007, NAWF’s mission remains consistent in voicing the hopes and concerns of the Arab woman in and strives to derive means to support the Arab woman in the challenges she encounters, be it on a social or professional level.
NAWF yearly honors through its proceedings exceptional personalities who are not only leading role models who have risen above these challenges, but key figures who have transformed their own experience into a positive influential know-how that has greatly impacted the region.
It has also become a yearly tradition of NAWF to recognize and highlight the noteworthy accomplishments of Arab women in a variety of domains at the event’s award ceremony held at the opening of every edition. Honorees have included politicians, journalists, writers, educators and influential female figures who have shown a strong sense of social responsibility and contributed to the advancement of society in general, and the status of women in particular.
An additional concurrent annual activity is the book signing event, which hosts prominent Arab and international authors and poets and presents their latest publications, which they are happy to personally sign upon your request.
