With compassion and conviction and by using transformative technologies, Shamsaha is addressing violence against women throughout the Middle East. Based in Bahrain, Shamsaha has supported more than 119,000 women in their attempts to overcome discrimination, harassment, sexual and domestic violence, and human trafficking throughout the Arabian Gulf and the broader Middle East.
Shamsaha's innovative mobile application, designed specifically for survivors of violence and abuse, demonstrates their commitment to leveraging technology for positive social impact, having made 24/7 multi-lingual crisis support available to millions of women in the Middle East for the first time ever.
Having built a cost-effective and highly scalable novel mobile phone application for survivors, and by establishing collaborative partnerships around the region, Shamsaha is harnessing the incredible potential of women-centric technologies. Shamsaha seeks to grow the global conversation about improving women’s rights, as well as shrink social divides and gender discrimination in all forms.
Ultimately, Shamsaha envisions a transformative future for women driven by technology, that promotes equality, enhanced women’s health and women’s rights, and the eradication of sexual and gender-based violence and discrimination.
