Editor's Note


We are feminists, perhaps in different ways , but progressive, driving and alive with enthusiasm.

We definitely are alive with enthusiasm.Striving to make a difference ; and above all to ensure a dialogue-Linking and information- between Mashreq and Magreb.
 

We have tried to harness all of the valuable contribution from a network of committed people around the world:News of AWID and UNIFEM activities, along with Bouthayna Shaaban who educates us in the history of Arab Women novelists and their creativity.Farida Naccache of Egypt,Aziza Sibini of Syria, Manal Kanadi of Yemen and Genevieve Painter from Womankind World wide have all contributed.The result was an Umbrella theme, that of violence against women. The magnitude of this heinous crime is hard to accept but
..Together we can make a difference.
