WHY DONATE?

JASAD is a pioneering, independent, cultural and feminist Arab media outlet that specializes in the Body’s arts, sciences, politics, and literature. Initially established in 2009, JASAD ran eight groundbreaking issues over the span of two years, fighting a vicious war against pressures to stop and/or censor it, but unfortunately had to cease operation due to financial restrictions in 2011. JASAD discusses freely the body, sexuality, and gender identities and politics, as well as different forms of discrimination and violence related to these issues in the Arab world and beyond. We need the support of our readers and the people who share our values, in order to continue waging our battle in reclaiming our bodies and our narrative in a world where our fundamental freedoms are being increasingly- whether directly or subtly- hijacked.
