* [http://www.el-karama.org/content/egypt Karama]: NGO created in Cairo that collaborates with activists throughout Middle East and North Africa. "Karama held its first national workshop in Cairo in 2005. It brought together 35 Egyptian NGOs to discuss the problem of violence against women in Egypt, what Egyptian civil society has been doing to address it until now, and how the new Karama approach might amplify these efforts. Since that first meeting, Karama’s focus on women’s dignity, on the society-wide impact of violence against women, and on grassroots-led collaborative efforts to end violence has continued to resonate. The majority of groups that participated in the national workshop have stayed on to become the core of Karama’s network in Egypt, and to build a social movement for a life free of violence against women." | * [http://www.el-karama.org/content/egypt Karama]: NGO created in Cairo that collaborates with activists throughout Middle East and North Africa.
