Takatoat

What Takatoat does

Takatoat is a private nonprofit feminist collective headquartered in Amman, Jordan, that operates as a knowledge production and movement-building organization rather than a technology or commercial venture. It serves women and girls across the Arab-speaking region — primarily in Jordan, with documented participant reach into Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, Yemen, UAE, and Kuwait — through four interlocking program lines: (1) Feminist Clubs operating as community-based discussion spaces in Amman, Irbid, Al-Karak, Al-Rusaifa, and Bethlehem; (2) Regional Feminist Schools and Camps delivering intensive feminist education (general curriculum 2021-2024, plus a specialized SRH-R school launched in 2024); (3) online Feminist Sessions conducted annually since 2021, drawing 270+ applications from across the Arab world; and (4) Knowledge Publications covering femicides in Jordan, menstrual poverty, feminist economics, and reproductive rights, published bilingually in Arabic and English. The organization's work is grounded in an intersectional, decolonial feminist framework, with core values of comradeship, responsibility, resistance, and sincerity.

The organization has no proprietary technology stack or software product; its 'platform' is a content-driven website (takatoat.org) combined with social media channels (Facebook, X, YouTube) that disseminate publications and recruit participants. There are no commercial pricing structures — all programs and content are provided free of charge to participants. Revenue is generated through donor funding, grants, and partner support, though specific donors, grant amounts, and financial figures are not publicly disclosed. Partnerships with TheSexTalk بالعربي (for SRH-R curriculum), Kobkob Cooperative of Lebanon (for facilitation training), and the Masarna Program (for regional facilitation skills training) extend organizational capacity without commercial exchange. Operational scale is small (1-10 employees), reflecting a member-driven, volunteer-supported collective model rather than a scaled enterprise.

From a commercial investment standpoint, Takatoat is structurally a grant-funded civil society organization, not an investable entity: there is no revenue-generating product, no disclosed funding history, no investor structure, and no pricing mechanics. Its strategic significance lies in its regional convening power, its monopoly position on Arabic-language intersectional feminist knowledge production, and its network of cross-border participants and partner organizations.

Broad incumbents

• Women for Women International: Global women's rights organization running social and economic empowerment programs for women in conflict-affected countries including several Takatoat operating geographies (Iraq, Syria). Comparable in cohort-based women's training model and donor-funded nonprofit structure.
• UN Women Arab States: UN entity coordinating gender equality programming across the Arab region. Comparable as a major funder, convener, and knowledge producer in the same regional gender-justice space, though not a grassroots collective and serves a much broader institutional mandate.

Emerging players

• MADRE: International women's rights organization partnering with grassroots feminist groups in the Global South. Comparable intersectional feminist framing and grantmaking/funding role, but US-based headquarters and a more international advocacy posture.
• Musawah: Global movement for equality in the Muslim family with strong MENA chapters and Arabic knowledge production. Comparable in combining Islamic-feminist thought leadership with regional advocacy, though operating at a larger global scale and more policy-focused remit.

Direct peers

• Karam Foundation: Syria- and Middle East-focused nonprofit running women's empowerment, education, and community programs for displaced populations. Comparable in delivering feminist and educational programming through cohort-based schools/clubs in the same region and relying on donor funding.
• ABAAD Resource Center for Gender Equality: Lebanon-based NGO working on gender-based violence, women's rights, and masculinity programs across the Arab region. Direct comparable in mission, programmatic model (safe spaces, training, advocacy), and donor-funded nonprofit structure serving overlapping geographies.
• Palestinian Working Woman Society for Development: Palestinian feminist NGO delivering economic empowerment, legal aid, and community-based women's programs. Comparable in grassroots, donor-funded feminist service delivery model in the Levant with overlapping target populations.
• Sisterhood Is Global Institute / Jordan (SIGI/SIJI): Jordan-based feminist organization focused on women's human rights, legal reform, and feminist knowledge production in Arabic. Operates in the same country and language ecosystem as Takatoat with overlapping community organizing and policy advocacy mandate.

Others

• Center for Women's Studies at the American University of Beirut: Academic center producing Arabic and English feminist research and convening feminist programming in the Arab region. Comparable as a knowledge-production node for Arabic feminist scholarship, though operating from an institutional/academic base rather than a grassroots collective.

Regional players

• Iraqi Women Network: Iraq-based coalition advancing women's rights and feminist organizing. Comparable in Arab-region feminist coalition-building and advocacy, but primarily focused on Iraq rather than Jordan/Levant and structured as a network rather than a collective.
