Arab Women Union
The Arab Women Union was initiated in 1956 by a group of local
women. Their main objective was to support the woman role in the
community and enrich her position as a lead force. The first
building was constructed in the same year and was used as the main
centre of the Arab Women Union and also served as a day-care place
for children. The project was the Unionīs first activity and
targeted the working women.
Throughout the years the Women Unionīs activities were expanded and
besides the day-care they started a rehabilitation centre for
disabled, a kidīs park for the local kids, a multipurpose hall for
social and educational events and a guesthouse that hosts groups in
support of the Palestinian cause.
