Women    

Women have always been vital agents in Arab society, and today they are emerging as important public players in government, business education and investment in the Arab region.

With greater work opportunities and increased public roles for women in the Arab region, there is a marked increase in the need for more variegated products and services.

Almanar Consultancy recognizes the particular needs and interests of women in international trade and cultural exchange and works collaboratively in Australia and in the Arab region to improve the experience and opportunities for women in business.

We facilitate introductions into the Arab region for Australian women in business and other professions, and provide advice to Arab women who seek a particular product, service, or investment in Australia.

Special Visits to Arab Countries
In 2006 ‏created and led the first Australian Professional Women Delegation (APWD) to Syria (April 2006) ‏followed by another APWD to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (February 2007), ‏and another ‏to Kuwait (October 2008). These hugely successful visits were considered historic ‏and created much media attention in those countries and elsewhere.
