Psychological Counseling and Educational Guidance Division at Al-Zahraa University for Women held an awareness workshop titled “Social Media Platforms for Soft Warfare”. The workshop aimed to cultivate educated and culturally aware individuals with active media presence, on the occasion of Al-Mab'ath Al-Nabawi, (when Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was appointed as the greatest divine messenger of Islam). The event was led by Ms. Malak Sbeity, a Lebanese professor and activist, on Sunday, February 19, 2023, at Um Abiha Hall. Ms. Sbeity managed to shed light on the dangers posed by soft warfare to cultural, national, as well as religious identities. Furthermore, she identified social media as a key instrument to inflict such hazards. To counter that menace, the presenter discussed strategies centered on the creation of successful female role models in society without intellectual superficiality and apathy. Ms. Sbeity concluded with particular focus on the significance of sharing meaningful and purposeful content as a responsible means of ownership by women of their personal social media platforms.
