Individuals from the region of Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region working or beginning to work on sexual and bodily rights and/or gender equality in any field can apply for the training opportunity under the Arab Foundation for Freedoms and Equality (AFE) Social Change Programme. The programme aims at providing individuals, groups and/or organizations in the Arab work with both theoretical and practical training in the area of Gender and Sexuality and applying it for social change.
