<h1>Our Purpose</h1>
<p class="LeadParagraph">
In the Arab world, we live in countries where LGBT individuals
are severely underrepresented as a community and face not only
systematic oppression, but also discrimination,
marginalization, and persecution. The region lacked a common
platform through which LGBT youth could connect in a highly
engaging environment to share their thoughts, fears, and
concerns regarding their sexuality and identity.
</p>
<p class="LeadParagraph">
LGBT youth felt increasingly isolated, distant, and depressed.
To escape this loneliness, we placed ourselves at risk by
resorting to unsecure tools to communicate with each other.
With so many young LGBT people across the Middle East and
North Africa region embracing the web, we saw an opportunity
to create an interactive platform that connected this
community in an anonymous and supportive space.

such message:
</h4>
<p class="-desc">
Ahwaa introduced me to a community I thought didn’t exist.
It helped me recognize my internalized homophobia and then
helped me overcome it. Never have I spoken there and not
been understood. In our conservative society it’s nice to
know that we’re not alone and Ahwaa’s supportive community
has helped me more than I ever thought.
