Aswat's Activities for March Aswat organizes monthly social activities which offers a variety of fun interactive gatherings in a safe empowering space to read about March's activities, click here>> Strong Willing Women, by Scatterbrain I remember the day I found out about the existence of an International Women's Day. It was back in the days when mobile phones didn't fall off trees and I had to use a Telecard to be able to call home from a public phone and ask to be picked up >> Everyday is a Women’s Struggle Day, by Nidhal Today marks the international women’s day, a day that holds different meanings and memories to each one of us. However, in many queer women’s movements worldwide sometimes the everyday’s women’s struggle is marginalized >> Survival kit for a Palestinian lesbian (part 1) Aswat's presentation, at the LGBT Human Rights Conference of the Outgames 2009 in ILGA workshop, titled "Being lesbian, bi, trans woman in the Middle East: survival kit" >> LBTQI Women in Palestine (part 2) Aswat, challenges and opportunities for Palestinian LBTQ women Aswat faces the same universal homophobic challenges of the LGBTQ community in the world. However, unique to the case of Aswat are the multiple forms of oppressions that we face >> Aswat congratulates Meem for the publications of their new book "Bareed Mista3jil".  "Bareed Mista3jil" is a brave new book published by Meem in Beirut, Lebanon.
