Women appear at a World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY) workshop in Jeddah Wednesday. WAMY Women's Section was started in the early 1990s to educate Muslim women on Islamic family and social values, and women's contemporary issues from an Islamic perspective. In 2008, the WAMY office in Makkah offered 339 lectures, 94 training sessions, and nine festivals, said Amal Naseer, supervisor of WAMY Women's Section. The section has set up women's cultural clubs with activities targeting over 38,000 female members so far this year.
