Since its establishment in 2012, the Munathara Initiative has promoted the voices of youth, women and marginalized (YWM) communities in the Arabic public sphere to meet their growing desire for participation in society, politics, and governance.
Munathara’s debate competitions offer unique opportunities for participants meeting YWM criteria to engage in live debates alongside policymakers and thought leaders streamed to millions of viewers.
The Munathara Initiative’s public events have been broadcast on at least ten local and regional TV channels portraying neglected voices and future leaders to millions of Arab speaking viewers around the world. The Munathara Initiative successfully produced and disseminated 26 Al-Munathara DD debate episodes, 3 versions of #DDX as well as Tunisia’s presidential and parliamentary electoral debates.
