Kolena Laila ( كلنا ليلى We Are All Laila ) and My Mother :)

Kolena Laila or We Are All Laila is an initiative to devote a day, annually, to speak up about the problems facing oppressed women in the Arab region. On that day, bloggers publish posts under the title of "We are all Laila" to raise awareness and discuss the concerns of women in Arab societies. "We are all Laila" day was first held on the 9th of September 2006

New Woman Foundation suggested three topics this year:

1- Renewing religious and historical discourses concerning women by encouraging new interpretations of different religious texts and increasing awareness of the stereotypical images of females embedded in the historical discourses.

2- I Want a Right Not a Solution: an attempt to highlight kinds of discrimination exercised against women in order to encourage them to resist and ask for their rights.

3- Women Who We Don't Know: using blogging and other media to bring to light women role models besides underprivileged, marginalized women; choosing examples that are usually ignored by mainstream media.
