Nour Hamada

Hamada was born in the rural village of Baakline that is located in the Chouf district of Mount Lebanon.

As she was making arrangements for the Eastern Women Congress, she faced the issue of the permit that she had to receive from the Syrian government, which was refusing to grant her it.

Next, she went directly to the government, discussing with them and requesting a private meeting with the French consul and her group of feminists to be held the day before the congress.

At this point in time, Madame Ghodsieh Afshar was announced to be the Iranian delegate, and at the meeting with the French hakim, Hamade made it clear that the congress will be held within the next two days, with or without his spoken permission.

After the First Eastern Women Congress, the bylaws were formulated in a general assembly held in Aley in 1931 in the presence of representatives of the concerned countries.

Hamada also attended the Second Oriental Women's Congress, which took place in 1932 and used the resolutions that passed in 1930 as the base for their meeting.

The third venue included the Pahlavi system that commemorated the passing of resolutions that positively impacts the civil and familial rights of women.

The resolutions were mostly social in terms of gender equality when it comes to wages, remuneration, mandatory primary education, positions in society and the economy, etc.

However, some like Najmabadi stated that during the meetings, proof exists on Hamada and a few Iranian women opposing the full cooptation by Iran.

Hamada's speech was translated for the first time into a European language from its Persian original delivery at the session by Mr. Haleh Emrani.

He was confident that she and her brother were a symbol of hope for the region and the right references for information related to the Arab world and the Middle East as a whole.

[1] The feminist appeal portrayed by Hamada's group was unique as it represented a blend of greater Syrian origins and global reach.

Hamada has repeatedly elaborated on her view of the evolution of her activist character based on helping women, whether they are Arab, Syrian, Asian, or Muslim.
