"I did not fight for power —

I fought for principles.
My activism is not about a role

in government;

it’s about reshaping the very

soul of the society I belong to."

Across these roles, her career combined institution-building, policy advocacy, and diplomacy with a lifelong dedication to democratic values, women’s rights, and regional self-reliance. Known for her bold and unapologetic views, she has been a true champion of the Arab cause and a staunch defender of human rights, never hesitating to challenge authoritarianism or speak truth to power. Her political career was marked by a rare integrity, one that placed principle above personal gain, and a conviction that meaningful change must come not only through international partnerships but also from within the region itself, led by its own people and institutions.

“If we want to achieve anything, we have to work together.”
