The Arab Women's Union in Jerusalem

• 'The Arab Women's Union in Jerusalem' is one of the five unions — Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan — all of which are embraced by the General Arab Women's Union, whose seat is now Beirut, under the presidency of Miss Ibtihaj Kaddoura.

The Arab Women's Union in Jerusalem has issued a detailed statement of the works it accomplished during the past year.

The members of the Union, headed by Miss Zulaykha al-Shihabi, have labored for the success of its center for child welfare and the care of expectant mothers — a center which has never ceased to fill a wide gap in the very body of our social fabric.

There is no doubt that the field of social and humanitarian service lies broad before woman in that region — and the women of the sister country do well to open their eyes to their principal responsibilities and duties. Especially now, after part of the moral shackle has been loosed and the way opened before the educated woman to exercise some of her political right... May this step be a starting point for works wider still and of farther-reaching importance..
