Women of The Middle East Podcast

In Women of the Middle East Podcast, Dr. Amal attempts to bridge the worlds of academia and activism. Tapping into her unique position as a Qatari scholar with an international reach and credibility, she offers women an audiovisual platform to discuss the topics that are most relevant to them beyond cultural filters and historical stereotypes. The podcast is also set to educate and empower the younger generation of Middle Eastern women, who were stripped of their historical references and weren’t raised to believe in their agency and power to create their own destiny.
