Hadil Al-Ashwal
As a Yemeni woman who was raised in Yemen and has been an immigrant for about 10 years, I bring a unique perspective shaped by my diverse experiences living internationally. Coming from a region where voices like mine are often underrepresented, I view the opportunity to share my perspective as both a privilege and a responsibility that I take very seriously. My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of global issues, and I am committed to using my platform to amplify underheard voices. Here, you can explore some of the speaking engagements I have been part of.

Participated as a panelist at a conference in South Africa, I reflected on the deeper roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where cycles of “othering” and historical injustice continue to fuel violence.
