About Bahiyat

The path of every bright woman.

Bahiyat is an Arabic-first media platform about women’s leadership and entrepreneurship in the Middle East and North Africa. Women are at the center of our stories, and each story comes with something practical: a guide, a tool or an opportunity.

Sections

  • Journeys: women leaders, entrepreneurs and impact makers from the region
  • Organizations: initiatives and programs that support women
  • Tools: apps and software for work and career growth
  • Guides: employment, entrepreneurship and career development
  • Insights: data and reports on women in the region’s economy
  • News: appointments, achievements and funding announcements
  • Opportunities: grants, programs, fellowships and jobs

Sisterhood over competition

One woman’s success should open the door for the next. So we let women tell their own stories, we back inspiration with facts, and we give advice you can use. We don’t set women against each other, or against a single idea of what success looks like.

Who reads us

Women at every stage of their careers, and women entrepreneurs starting or growing a business. Organizations that work on women’s empowerment read us too, as do the funders who support women’s economic participation.
