Jasadyat

Jasadyat is a non-for-profit feminist association that works on the cultural and cognitive empowerment of women and LGBTQ+ individuals in Arabic-speaking communities around the world, as well as raising awareness on issues related to sexual health and rights in efforts to end violence against women and LGBTQ+ communities and educate the public on issues related to body rights and public health. Jasadyat was created and registered in a collaborative effort with The Sex Talk (TST) members in order to support them in overcoming legal and financial constraints. TST needed a formal presence in order to sustain and expand its movement; however, due to the constraints and risk of registering in any of the countries in which it operates, Jasadyat was registered with support from sister organisations and groups in France. Jasadyat role is to provide TST with some formality, facilitate their fundraising activities, and offer them a level of legal protection. Therefore, Jasadyat acts as a financial and legal intermediate for the TST initiative, receiving and dispersing approved grants in our formal bank account and moderating them during the grant time.
