Karama: Ending Violence in Our Own Terms

Karama aims to strengthen efforts to end violence against women by bringing together local women's organizations and other civil society groups in collaboration, analysis, and advocacy at national, regional, and international levels. We view our mission as one not only to widen the national constituencies working to end violence against women in the Middle East and North Africa, but also to widen our roles and contributions as Arab women in key civil society sectors. Finally, we seek to raise the profile and expand the influence of Arab women as leaders in regional and international contexts.

Founded in 2005 to provide a framework for coordination, cooperation, and linkage among people interested in stopping violence against women, Karama has initiated an unprecedented range of multi-sectoral collaboration and advocacy by women across the Middle East and North Africa at the national, regional, and international levels.
