Sage Takes Thyme

In this special episode of Womena celebrating its 10-year milestone, our hosts take a moment to reflect on the past decade in the region.
They explore the question of whether representation alone can drive real change. The episode dives into the progress made, the ongoing challenges that women still face, and the continued fight for women’s rights in the Arab world, highlighting some of the initiatives that are changing the status quo for women in the region and address issues like harassment and rape, sexual and reproductive health, call-out and cancel culture, citizenship laws, and more.

What is Sage Takes Thyme?

This is not a cooking show, but it will nourish your soul (maybe). Womena’s founders open a new dialogue with their community and give their perspectives on relevant, topical issues that affect women in and from the Arab world. This podcast will serve as a space for genuine exploration of the authentic experience of two women in search of belonging and balance, using storytelling to reclaim and redefine the distorted narratives that surround them.
