Women 2 Women    

Women have always been vital agents in Arab society, and today they are emerging as important public players in government, business 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, Dr Fiona Hill created the concept of the Australian Professional Women Delegation to the Arab region and led the first delegations to Syria (April 2006) and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (February 2007). These hugely successful visits were considered historic in Australia-Syria and Australia-Saudi relations. In 2008, Fiona is invited to lead a delegation of Australian business and professional women to Kuwait to promote and extend trade and cultural exchange.
