Action Plan

Objective:
The objective of this project is to grow awareness in communities, provide support, and educate
others on how women are still not being treated as equal in the Middle East. This lack of a right
is limiting the quality is life and even killing some women as they fight for a better life.

Why should the community:

Joining the action gives the world the idea of a united front of no tolerance of anything lesser
than equality for all. Support is the reason why people should join this movement. Without
support nothing can be accomplished, these women being dominated by male figures need
support to overcome their suppressor. The thought of inequality should motivate anyone and
everyone to join this movement. Without women equality ​everywhere​ ​women won’t be seen as
important enough to society if they are not even support by women themselves. The lack of
support represents the gap between women and men in today’s society.

Theory and History:

Equal rights is a struggle for many countries all over the world and even a bigger struggle in the
Arab World. This world issue is caused by the conflicts of culture and politics, and the right to
each one. The Association for the Development and Enhancement of Women (ADEW) is a
Foundation that is supported by the European Union and founded in 1987. The ADEW has a
national network based in Egypt, established NGO, and is funded by many outside sponsors
making it very resourceful. This foundation was the first NGO to raise awareness on the issue of
legal existence of women and the lack of official documentation in 1987 (“ADEW”,2018). This
foundation is willing to help women politically to elevate themselves rather than just making the
issue known to the public. The use of media is a great resource that they utilize by producing
poster, flyers, and even documentaries. The purpose of the ADEW is to improve the lives of
women who are afflicted the most by this issue. To help women in need this foundation has spent
funding in legal aid for women, literacy classes to acquire better opportunities, and
empowerment workshops to uplift women in a belittling society that many live in. All of these

resources are available to the Egyptian population including the youth. ADEW has established a
program that is designed to find the answer or way to find a solution to resolve this problem, this
program is called Community Mobilization Program (“ADEW”,2018). The change of laws that
limit women by bounding them by law and religion is immensely advocate in the of a solution to
this conflict.

Planning the Action Plan:

Overview:
The action plan proposed below will consist of approaches focused on the community,
organizations/foundations, the country or area itself, America, and local women with the goal of
establishing women equality in the Middle East. This action plan is based off of prior research on
foundations, organizations, and the ideas of others who are trying to invoke change.
