When you are the maker of all symbols, icons, heroes, and men in society, you are much more than just its half.” This is how Monica Maiz, a presenter on Koogi TV channel and a member of the Cairo Group’s Youth Media Program, described the importance of women’s roles in society. This statement encapsulates the essence of the work done by the Dialogue of Cultures Forum through its various programs.

The forum aims to support women’s mediatory leadership in Egypt, whether they are journalists, academics, women religious leaders, or workers in civil society and governmental organizations. The forum works to empower these leaders and enhance their role in creating symbols, icons, and heroes in society.
