WAM, which is taking place in April, is an initiative by Femi9, a local fashion brand that will be giving away more than 100,000 orange scarves that features Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah's recent statement: "I believe strongly in the rights of women. My mother is a woman, my sister is a woman, my daughter is a woman, my wife is a woman."

On Saturday, the Femi9 Facebook page will allow visitors to vote for best women achievers in 2010. There are six categories: Best Woman Social Worker; Best Woman Teacher; Best Young Woman Entrepreneur; Best Woman Government Employee; Best Woman Media Personality; and Best Woman Doctor.

“Awards will be presented in a ceremony on May 4,” said Said Aghil Baaghil, brand marketing strategist consultant. “There are 10 nominations for each category, and our panel of judges will select top three in each category. These names with their profiles will be posted on Facebook WAM page where our fans will be voting to select the winner.”

Eyad Mashat, the founder and CEO of Femi9, has called on everyone to stand with women and support them so that they can fulfill their role in serving society.

“We wish women a lifetime filled with success and gratitude, and we will never forget that she is the better half of society as she also completes her male partner,” he said.
