Launch of the Transformative Arabic Language Guide

The launch event brought together activists, writers, and feminists dedicated to rethinking how Arabic can be used as a tool for justice.

Through powerful conversations and shared reflections, the gathering marked a significant step in ongoing feminist efforts to challenge dominant narratives, question inherited language, and create space for more inclusive and equitable expression.

The guide, unveiled during the event, features:

  • 12 feminist guidelines for writing in Arabic
  • Over 300 terms translated and contextually reframed
  • Critical reflections on language, power, and politics

More than just a launch, this was a collective call to action—an invitation to shape, critique, and evolve the language we use every day.
