Introduction

Khatuzeen Center for Women's issues is a women's organization, established May 2000 by three women. Since then the organization has reached out to the community to raise awareness about women's rights and work as a pressure group to change the personal statute law and the penal code, so that it can be more equal for women.

We put out a monthly women and children's magazine. Through which we deliver our message of equality for women, encourage tolerance and living together.

Violence against women and violence in the society is one of the issues that we have excelled in by raising awareness through our own radio station, "Zeen Radio" and by giving seminars and work shops on conflict resolutions. We have held many conferences one of which was a three day conference, under the name of ' empowering women". This conference was very successful; it was attended by more than 300 women daily. At the end we gave recommendations for change to our regional government.

We also have held conferences on child labor and children's literature. To date we visit primary schools weekly to read children's stories to them and discussed issues to do with equality, children's rights and non violent activities. The children's story books were printed with the grant given by OTI.
