Thanks for sharing the link to Nada's fundraiser, Lucy. It's great seeing people from the movement coming together to help one another. I was pondering emailing yesterday to see if and how WMUK would be able to support her logistically/bureaucratically. From the limited information I was able to find online, it seems not much can be done with the FCDO, so not really sure what sort of assistance a UK organisation can offer. But if there is anything that can be done, I'm sure she would greatly appreciate it!
Nick, Manassa (https://manassa.co/) is a free platform offering digital courses and training in Arabic catered specifically to the human rights NGOS and activists. If I think of something else, I'll let you know.
