The term “women’s empowerment” has invaded the research literature and reports issued by civil society organizations in the Arab region, without sufficient introduction to this term, its dimensions, indicators, and methods for measuring it, especially in view of the geographical and cultural specificities, and the different historical circumstances of women from one country to another: the empowerment of women in... Belgium, or Ecuador is not the same as empowering them in Syria.
This is precisely what justifies the interest in publishing the “Methodological Guide to Women’s Empowerment,” prepared by the work team in the “Gender and its Indicators” project, managed by the Women and Development Committee of the General Department of Cooperative Development (DGCD) in Belgium.
Instead of adopting a fixed template that applies to all women, this guide takes into account the cultural specificities of each society and proposes a flexible methodology that allows for the formulation of empowerment indicators.
Empowerment, according to the words of the authors of this guide: “is not based on a process of horizontal development, or fixed values in society, but rather a cumulative process built on the activities of women’s movements, as well as mixed movements.”
Thus, this guide explores the relationship of the concept of empowerment to other related terms, such as: power, distribution of responsibilities, and building identity.

In this novel, which is considered one of the most prominent Hungarian novels in the modern era, which achieved great success, was translated into several languages, and was adapted for theater and cinema, the reader feels as if the author is able to penetrate his depths, and not only the depths of his characters.
The book will take you on a journey to travel through different stages of life that most of us have experienced, such as the work environment, the impact of social networking sites on our private and professional lives, as well as some topics related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. With the addition of some of my own touches that mimic my point of view and convictions, to be the captain of this short, enjoyable journey. Similar to the saying: (The world is a book, whoever does not travel through it sees only one page), I say:
The book is a world of ideas, and whoever does not read it does not think.
Between heart and mind:
It is a novel that tells the experience of a failed love, which was ultimately a lesson for its owner. Ahmed lived his entire life under the robes of his conservative family, and spent many years dreaming of marrying his cousin Hessa, whose love had grown in his heart since their childhood. He was a passionate lover, but his family’s financial conditions were difficult. And conservative traditions surrounded him from every side like a bracelet surrounds the wrist, and despite his sincere love for Hessa, who shyly exchanged his feelings of love for him, he was unable to unleash her feminine feelings in his lover, who fell in love with a chaotic man with a strong personality to the point of indifference, and when She leaves him and moves on, leaving him heartbroken and desperate, suffering from depression, from which he cannot recover except when he takes revenge on the man who loved her for a man from whom that shock made another human being, after she taught him the lesson of his life.
