The uprising of women in the Arab world (انتفاضة المرأة في العالم العربي) is a facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/intifadat.almar2a) established in October 2011 by 4 Arab women from Egypt, Lebanon, and Palestine. They set up a facebook page and invited women and men to take inspiration from the Arab Spring to call for women’s rights and to raise awareness of the challenges that Arab women face.
The uprising page defines itself as
This page is a free and secular platform for constructive dialogue advocating human rights, freedom, and independence of women in the Arab world. All opinions are welcomed under the condition that they do not stand on:
sexism, racism, sectarianism, expiation, hate speech and personal insults.
هذه الصفحة هي مساحة علمانية حرة للحوار البناء المناصر لحقوق المرأة الانسانية وحريتها واستقلاليتها في العالم العربي. كل الاراء مرحب بها شرط الا تقوم على:
التمييز الجنسي، العنصرية، المذهبية، التخوين والتكفير وهدر الدم، والاهانات الشخصية.
The page starts very interesting campaigns, e.g. tell your story campaign in which women tell their stories and interact with each other. My favourite part is the photo campaign in which men and women publish their photos with banners or posters that begin with the phrase (أنا مع انتفاضة المرأة في العالم العربي), i.e. I am with the uprising of women in the Arab world, and they express their opinions.
