Arabic language is a pillar of the cultural diversity of humanity. It is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, used daily by more than 400 million people.

In the diversity of its forms, classic or dialectal, from oral expression to poetic calligraphy, the Arabic language has given rise to a fascinating aesthetic, in fields as varied as architecture, poetry, philosophy and song. It gives access to an incredible variety of identities and beliefs and its history ...reveals the richness of its links with other languages. Arabic has played a catalytic role in knowledge, promoting the dissemination of Greek and Roman sciences and philosophies to Renaissance Europe. It has enabled a dialogue of cultures along the silk roads, from the coast of India to the Horn of Africa.

Here at UNESCO we support artists, creators, researchers, journalists, particularly women, who uphold this language and express universal aspirations for peace and freedom. We aim to mobilize the Arabic language as a medium for dignity and equality, emancipation and equality between men and women.

Join us today in celebrating the Arabic language's immense contribution to global culture!
