The organization was founded by Huguette el-Khoury, daughter of President Bechara el-Khoury, and a group of Lebanese women in 1968 to break the isolation of Palestinian camps and empower refugee women after Lebanese law forbade their husbands from working. Sireen al-Husseini and other Palestinian women also contributed to the association.
