About Arab Women in the Center

Na’am, the acronym for Arab Women in the Center in Arabic, also means “yes we can.” That is not just a nice coincidence, it is the spirit of Na’am. Women helping women helping women to internalize that simple truth: Yes we can. Yes we can stand up to the convention, discrimination and racism that try to keep us down. Yes we can stand our ground when it comes to the freedom to decide our own futures. Yes we can raise our voices against all forms of gender-based aggression.

Na'am in 2021

It was over a year ago that COVID lockdowns began. The murder rate rose right away as did calls to the Na'am offices for assistance.

Then violence erupted in our cities, leaving fresh wounds in the wake of killings and new lockdowns.

Na'am responded by providing humanitarian aide, by assisting women living under threat, creating platforms for women to contact Na'am staff, assisting students and more.

Why Na'am?

With a small staff and a cadre of committed volunteers, Na'am offers dozens of programs and assists hundreds of women, teens, girls and families.
That means all donations go to assist those who need it most.
