The Arab CSOs and Feminist Organizations Network Back ground

The Arab CSOs and Feminist Organizations Network was established in beginning of 2020, to amplify voices of women in the MENA region and facilitate women's participation in the global feminist movement, through regional and global convening. The Network has a membership of 68 feminist and women’s rights organizations from 12 Arab countries. The decision-making body of the Network is the Steering Group and engages its member organizations in thematic working groups addressing different topics of priority to women within our region.

The Network is undertaking initiatives to influence policies and legislation to address gender inequalities within our region. To do that, it focuses its interventions on thematic issues of priority within our region: 1. Amplifying the Voices of Women within the MENA Region to push forward the Women, Peace and Security Agenda (especially after the Israeli military aggression on the Gaza Strip and to address the conflict context within the MENA region from a feminist lens); 2. Feminist Consultations for the Beijing+30 in the Arab region; 3. Economic Justice and GBV; 4. Climate Justice; 5. The Family and Personal Status Laws to protect women and girls from Gender Based Violence (GBV); 6. The Feminist Forum for Young Women in Arab Countries (Arab Feminist Haven). A dedicated thematic Working Group (WG) that maintains a global interaction within the Network has studied each theme.

The Network is publishing this call among its members and on public social media platforms, and inviting proposals from senior experts and consultants to take on the consultancy of creating an effective governance model to the network through a mediation process that might involve conflict resolution between the network’s stakeholders.
