Tareq Al-Sheikh, Secretary General’s Representative and Resident Coordinator in Kuwait, said Intisar Foundation has been active in this domain for 20 years and contributed to alleviating shock of a million Arab women by using psychological therapy.<\/p>\n
Al-Sheikh was speaking in a virtual seminar, co-organized by the UN and Intisar Foundation, about psychological therapy to help Arab women overcome impacts of conflicts.<\/p>\n
