Founded in Egypt in 1982, under the name of "Arab Women Solidarity" (A WS), this association obtained, in 1985, a consultative status, category 2, with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. The founder is the well-known Egyptian feminist, Dr. Nawal Saadawi, whose experience as neurologist and clinical researcher induced her to write several studies and novels about the problems of the Egyptian and Arab women.
