Work
The United Nations presented its annual report for 1953, and from the work of eight of its specialized agencies it appeared that the World Health Organization safeguarded the health of 26 million children and mothers against malaria and tuberculosis in all parts of the world.
A Statistic
The number of women graduates of Cairo University alone reached 1,625 young women, some of them from the faculties of commerce, law, letters, agriculture, and veterinary medicine. As for the faculty of science, it remained forbidden to the sweet sex, which was unable to enter its doors until this year.
Democracy and Motherhood
The wife of Dr. Jamali, the Prime Minister of Iraq, works as a teacher at Queen Aliya College in Baghdad; and lately, upon an illness that struck one of her children, she donated her salary to be spent on projects for the care of children with disabilities.
And Finally
What shall I say of woman's social activity, when it abounds in every Arab country? In Syria the Mabarra held its annual meeting and elected a new administrative board... The Ministry of Health saw the great efforts being made by the Social Services Association and resolved to grant it a large sum of money, in encouragement and in recognition of its efforts; most of the other associations have likewise shown tangible activity.
In Egypt the ideal mother
for 1954 was elected, and Mrs. Nahida Sirri won — and Egypt's mother for this year is the mother of three daughters and has notable social activity. Anwar al-Sadat visited the Women's Union and distributed clothing and sweets to 100 poor children in the Union's care. The Red Crescent, moreover, is drawing up vast projects it is striving to carry out: a higher school for nurses, with a course of study of one year, after which the nurse takes the post of head nurse in the hospitals; then the project of founding a blood bank —
the women in charge presented a lengthy report on it to the responsible authorities, after two members of the Red Crescent returned from Europe and found the application of the idea both necessary and possible; then the opening of the new branches in Maadi and Giza. And what more shall I mention of Beirut, Amman, Ramallah, Jerusalem, Aleppo, Baghdad, and Tripoli — in each of them activity, and entertainments that gather from the rich to give to the needy...
It is woman's giving, tender hand...
