In today's globalized world, there is an unprecedented revolution in communication and information technology used by youth in particular. The world has become for them a small village without borders, with open arenas for discussion and dialogue on various topics and issues of concern to all of them. One of the important issues for discussion and dialogue among young people is the status of women, their situations and problems, especially if the parties of the dialogue come from different cultural backgrounds where comparisons are made between the situation of women in different societies.
Youth represent half of the present and all of the future. Therefore, a constructive dialogue among them on women marked by clarity, trust and equality and based on accurate information is a cornerstone in building global understanding and rapprochement among the generation of tomorrow on a very sensitive issue that is a major cause of misunderstanding between different cultures.
If dialogue between Arab and Western youth on women issues is a basic level of dialogue, it must be preceded by a dialogue between Arab youth on women issues aimed at providing them with accurate and adequate information in this regard.
The concept of this project is to open dialogue between a selected group of Arab youth on the conditions and problems of Arab women, and ways to promote them. Further, to educate youth about the challenges facing women, and to take advantage of their visions and perceptions on how to meet these challenges.
