The First Ladies from a White Hands perspective

Behind every great man, there is a great woman, an old saying that summarizes the journey of great men in history, and this is an indication of the vital role of women as important partners in creating greatness all along history, ancient or modern

No one can argue the honor and the greatness of achievements by men, however the stands of women beside such great men are no less important, and whether these women were the wives, mothers, daughters or sisters of such great men.

And among these great men in our modern times, the president and kings that lead their Arabic societies to advancement and besides each of one of them stands a proud wife and a life long partner, reflecting her man's work to achieve quality transformation in our societies.

To carry the title or the crown as the First Lady, requires an exerted efforts and generosity, and this is what we can see clearly through the series of achievements and effective initiatives echoing its influence into our societies, especially initiatives related to the development of women roles as active partners to build society, and the work towards insuring education and health as rights for women and children, in addition to fighting poverty, and to make women participate in the cultural, intellectual and political arenas.

This is how we find the First Ladies in our Arabic countries, and just exactly how we used to think of them previously, and we thought we ought to reflect their roles and from what they exert from efforts toward the development and advancement of society.

Therefore, we decided under our slogan "The White hands Campaign For A Media Geared Towards Women", to present as one of its branches to reflect the roles, efforts and initiatives of the First Ladies, and high status women, by putting links to each First Lady or dignitary woman, and for whoever interested to know about their activities, and we have took a greater step in publishing a book for each First Lady, in addition to a TV program "The Meeting With The First Lady," which will be broadcasted in more than 100 TV channel in the same time, and through the mutual efforts of joint broadcasting led by the APUTV cooperation with these channel.
