Our Mission
Challenging and dismantling the deeply-rooted harmful norms, ideologies, and structures that contribute to the continuation of sexual violence towards Arab women and LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Our Vision
To support individuals and communities with alternative and accessible knowledge and resources that enable them in making informed decisions about their bodies, relationships, health, and rights.
Our Approach
Our diversity enriches the quality and accuracy of our work. The Sex Talk Arabic team is composed of Arab women and individuals, from diverse backgrounds and age groups, who are located all over the world.
Our team members bring a range of high-level skills and a variety of qualifications and expertise. Our ever-growing team consists of researchers, doctors, writers, graphic designers, illustrators, storytellers … and sure enough, a lot of feisty feminist activists!
Our common goal is to end the cycle of exploitation and gender-based violence, in Arabic-speaking societies!
