Too often, technology is a tool for narrow interests, either to support those in power or only to make money. Many offices work hard to simplify processes for their customers and citizens, but much more can be done to empower people with computing and networking resources (besides entertainment and commerce). We will share examples (eg. using title fees to support tenure rights, and allowing homeowners to benefit from their data). We will also share future ideas (eg. publishing data on how fees are used, and showing transparency of data such as gender equity) and explore solutions for attendees' specific contexts.

Participants will feel the importance of using simulation to save beneficiaries' lives and reduce the time for the humanitarian processes.
They will notice how the simulation will reduce the cost and increase the quality of the humanitarian processes; and how it minimizes the quantity of the resources by enabling managers to predict the optimal allocation of resources.
They will realize how simulation is a good way to mitigate risks, as the on-site monitoring is not always safe, as happens in conflict, instability, natural disasters, or epidemics. Spending time before the problem will help spread awareness to mitigate its consequences.

The paper is based on a scientific analysis that allows participants to understand the current state of fiqh that is directed to women on Arab digital platforms, such as Twitter.
