Don’t Underestimate Saudi Women, Says Samia Al-Amoudi - Saudi Arabia/Womens Rights
Hassna’a Mokhtar; 28/3/08
Several women attended a second workshop on breast cancer awareness run by Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation at Dohat Al-Jazeera School yesterday. A group of 15 women — including representatives from the health sector, social activists and breast cancer survivors — took part in five modules covering community profiles, development of volunteers and organizations, awareness and education, and fundraising and advocacy. “I want you to leave class today knowing everything about gathering information and field surveys so that you can design your own strategic plans and community profiles,” said trainer Fatimah Al-Qarazi. “Our goal is to set plans for awareness purposes. Nothing is done randomly. You have to know all details,” she added.
