International Activities
I am a member of Bahethat Center for Women Studies. The first Women Studies Research Center in Saudi Arabia.
The research center was established by my cousin, Dr. Norah Alomar. She currently serves as the director. She has also established the International Association of Muslim Women Studies which was launched in Turkey last year. On the day of the launch, she was elected as the president of the Association by more than 73 international members.

This includes cultural displays from over 11 countries. Information Booths, Calligraphy, Henna and Photo Booths and finally an information booth about the Syrian Revolution.
