One of the workshop’s aims is to trace the differences between Western and Arab cultures with respect to gender, but the workshop also sets out to underline the similarities within the analysis of gender. Women of both cultures have experienced the asymmetrical cultural values, sexual hierarchies and sexual harassment.

To fight these issues and establish gender as field of research is the joint intent of the participants of this workshop. Marburg University has institutionalized research at the Interdisciplinary Center for Gender Research in 2001. Cairo University is the only Egyptian university in which some faculties began to include Gender Studies within their programmes, the Faculty of Arts and the English Department are part of them. The English Department is the home of one of the first chairs for Gender Studies. Thus Cairo’s intent is to establish a Gender Studies center that will be first in Egypt at Egyptian Universities and integrate the diverse interests into the center.  And, last but not least, change the culture of silence and women’s oppression and enable researchers to explore issues and themes that have not previously been tackled.
