My name is Ayesha and I work with the OBOS Global Initiative. I wanted to follow up on your request and send along some information that I hope will be helpful.

(1) The first resource is a group called “Women and Their Bodies”. WTB is partnering with us on Arabic and Hebrew adaptations of “Our Bodies, Ourselves”. I am sure they would be happy to share any Arabic materials they have developed on birth control, as well as guide you to other resources. I hope you will contact them — nashim.nissa@gmail.com — and let us know if you need any assistance.

(2) The Hesperian Foundation is another. Hesperian (http://www.hesperian.org/) produces health information in multiple languages — including Arabic — and their website lists two additional resources you could tap:
– http://ec.princeton.edu/Arabic/default.aspx
– A group called the Arab Resource Collective in Lebanon, reachable at (9611)742075 (phone) and arcleb@mawared.org (email).

(3) Finally, the National Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Health have a website that might also be worth exploring.
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/languages/birthcontrol.html

I hope this is helpful.
