كلنا ليلى

كلنا ليلى هي مبادره ليوم من أجل المرأه المضطهدة في المنطقة العربية. يقوم في هذا اليوم كتاب المدونات بنشر تدوينات تحت راية يوم كلنا ليلى لطرح ومناقشة المشكلات التي تواجهها المرأة في المجتمعات العربية. بدأت فكرة كلنا ليلى عن طريق مجموعة من كاتبات المدونات المصريات على رأسهم مدونة لست أدري، بنت مصرية، شيماء، أرابيسك، أبيتاف وأخريات. وبالرغم من أن بداية كلنا ليلى كانت من مجموعة من المدونات المصرية فإن القائمين على الإعداد ليوم كلنا ليلى يؤكدون أن يوم ليلى موجه للمرأة العربية عموما وليست المصرية فقط

مسرحية كلنا ليلى هي مبادرة من الفريق المسرحي بالجزويت المنيا و منظمة

Care International

تحت مشروع سلام و أمان. تهدف المسرحية لتسليط الضوء على العنف المنزلي ضد المرأة

Kolena Laila would like to invite you to join our campaign for open dialogue starting December 24th and ending December 31st, 2009. The campaign's objective this year is to promote discussion about women’s issues in Arab societies.

This year Kolena Laila will take the opportunity to bring stories of struggles and challenges that ultimately brought positive change to the organization as a whole to the forefront. The premise behind the campaign is to hear what Arab bloggers have to say about the challenges facing women today. We would like to hear more about women’s success stories in Arab countries and the challenges they faced and the outcomes of their experiences. We want to know what Laila aspires for in her dreams; who she wants to be and where she envisions herself in the future. We encourage people to express their opinions and observations openly and without restraint. Kolena Laila does not endorse any particular cultural values. Instead, we aim to assess, and perhaps question, some of our motives and through that, modify our behavior with an eye towards self improvement.

All women and men are welcome to contribute via written articles, photos, designs, stories, audio or any other way. You can also publish your material on your personal blog or on the campaign’s main blog. Ideas are welcome in both Arabic and English. We look forward to your contribution in this enriching dialogue.

If you are interested in participating, please contact us from the "contact us" form, or by email to Laila@kolenalaila.com

We would also like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate in this year's survey. It's anonymous and provides valuable insight to the campaign. The results will be published on the web site upon completion.

Click this link to go to the survey.

The idea started in 2006 in Egypt, and since then many bloggers and on-line activists joined the cause. And in our fourth year, we seek to extend the experience to include as many Arab countries as possible, because we believe that our social status is similar to the degree of congruence in some cases. Hence, we are inviting you to join and help in this year's initiative which will start on the 24th of December and end on the 30th of the same month.

We need Volunteers in the following areas:

1. Representatives and correspondents * for the countries that is still not represented.
2. Translators from Arabic to English and vice versa
3. Translators from Arabic to French and vice versa

* To inquire about representation for your country or representatives' tasks please contact us either through our Facebook group or our email: Laila[at]kolenalaila[dot]com
** Important note: The site is still under construction.

Wait for us within days to announce this year's events..

Join us!

All are invited at equal footing, men and women..and from all over the world.
