During his speech at the launch, Mohammad Al-Harthi, Editor-in-Chief of Sayidaty, Al-Jamila and AboutHer.com, explained the website’s mission. “After realising Arab women are always being portrayed the same way, our aim became to shine a spotlight on the region’s women in a more realistic, all-round and in-depth way. So we decided we’re not just going to write about why this woman won a prize or how this woman successfully climbed up the corporate ladder to head a company,” he said. “We want to ask the women profiled on our website about the struggles as well as the triumphs, the ups as well as the downs, because those are the realities any reader in our global audience can relate to. As well as inspiring our female readers with real life success stories, we want these stories to be relevant and palpable. So with that premise in mind, we have been featuring timely interviews with homegrown and foreign women from all walks of life and in all kinds of businesses.” He added AboutHer has a lot more to offer as well as it is an “encompassing lifestyle reference.”
