NEWS CENTER - NADA will hold its first congress in Sulaymaniyah between May 15-17 2025.
 
The Democratic Women's Alliance in the Middle East and North Africa (NADA) will hold its first congress in Sulaymaniyah between May 15-17 2025, with the motto, “Towards a Democratic Society with the Women’s Revolution”.
 
According to JINHA, Women from many countries in the Middle East, women of the Kurdish Freedom Movement and representatives of women’s organizations in Turkey are expected to attend the congress. During the 3-day congress, panels will be held to discuss problems faced by women in the MENA region and their solutions.
 
The Democratic Women’s Alliance in the Middle East and North Africa (NADA) was formed by women’s organizations in Lebanon, all four parts of Kurdistan, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Jordan, Sudan, Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco.
 
The Free Women's Democratic Movement (Demokratik Özgür Kadın Hareketi-DÖKH) held a conference in Amed (Diyarbakır) between May 31-June 2, 2013 with the participation of 250 representatives of women’s organizations from 26 countries. At the conference, the participants decided to form a coordination to organize the second conference.
 
On October 12, 2020, 11 women’s organizations in the Middle East and three women’s organizations in North and East Syria formed the “Initiative for Security and Peace, Fighting against Occupation and Femicide”.
 
The movement held its second conference in the Lebanese capital Beirut between October 30-31, 2021, with the motto, “With the unity of women we will realize the democratic revolution”. More than 100 representatives of women’s organizations from 18 countries such as Iran, Morocco, Rojava, Turkey, Tunisia, Palestine, Afghanistan and Egypt, participated in the conference. At the conference, the women decided to form the Democratic Women’s Alliance in the Middle East and North Africa (NADA) to struggle together. 
 
The aim of the alliance is to strengthen women's solidarity in the region, fight the patriarchal system and state-violence, build a democratic, pluralistic society against fundamentalism and nation-state monism, achieve women’s participation in peace processes, support the struggle of the Palestinian and Kurdish people, document rights violations committed against women in the region and support Abdullah Öcalan's demand for freedom.
