This sounds interesting. Are you only interested in women bloggers from the Arabic nations? Women in education and employment have problems worldwide. I am having huge problems as a educated woman trying to return to the workplace with outdated experience and technical skills.

I’m working on the impact of sociocultural values at the workplace and try to make understand that feminine values should be recognized as being a real potential and asset for management cascading on performance of a company. It is a subject of good commun sens. Our economic structures are still run by a traditional masculine value system. Generally speaking, women access feminine values naturally but very quickly after entering professional life, they leave this aspect at the door of the company and do their job on the masculine value basis. Obviously, change cannot come if women don’t value this potential. I’d be very interested to get involved in the debate.

My blog is in Arabic but I write about local and Arab women issues/concerns from time to time and I recently attended a meeting in Tunisia organized by HARPAS/UNDP to contribute in preparing a Training Manual entitled “Women Rights in Challenging HIV/AIDS” which will be distributed (once finalized) to all NGOs in the Arab World.

If the conference is open also for bloggers blogging in Arabic than I will be interested to attend.

Thanks.
