Damascus History Foundation- Correcting Biography of Nazik al-Abed on Arabic Wikipedia
In accordance with Bilad al-Sham WikiMedia, History of Damascus Foundation worked to improve the digital content related to the history of the city of Damascus on the Wikipedia Arabic International Encyclopedia, and in this respect it corrected the biography of the Syrian feminist Nazik al-Abed, leader of the women's movement who demanded that women be given their full rights.
Damascus History Foundation mentioned that between the years 1887 and 1959, Nazik al-Abed played a leading role in establishing a number of publications and women's societies. She also participated in the Battle of Maysaloun against the French occupation in her capacity as Head of Red Star Society that preceded the Syrian Red Crescent.
Al-Abed studied in Damascus and Mosul schools, and learned German and French languages. When her father was exiled to Turkey over the coup against Sultan Abdul Hamid II, she entered the American School in Izmir, where she learned photography and the art of drawing. In addition, she joined the editorial family of Arous (Bride) Magazine in Syria, founded by the Damascene writer Mary Ajami in Homs in 1910, and it was the first Arab publication calling for women's rights.
