About Us

“ANA HUNNA” – أنا هنا – I am here – Je suis là – Ich bin hier

ANA HUNNA is a call to all women to be active, powerful and self-determined. ANA HUNNA is a call to all women and men to realize the potential of 50 % of the population which is here to be seen, contribute and ready to engage.

Currently, women in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia have the lowest participation rate in the labour market worldwide with just 25%. Besides its individual meaning for each woman, women’s integration is essential for a successful and thriving economy and an inclusive society.

Our vision is a world where women have the choice on how to be active in society.

Thus, the ANA HUNNA International Network forms a primary hub for circulating the experiences, ideas, innovative concepts and experiences of its members and partners and hundreds of initiatives of practical work in each country of the network. The network is offering space to jointly create even more new initiatives and strengthen existing activities.
