More quotes by Yara Sallam

As for me, I cannot detach myself from my work, emotionally and psychologically.

My interest in human rights emerged when I was a member in Al-Nosoor al-Sagheera (The Young Eagles), which was working on children's rights.

I didn’t need to read the theories and the books to practice feminism. I was lucky to be raised in a leftist family that believes in equality between men and women, and applies these values.

I know that others are also seeking answers, in the hope that we can find a safe space to work without losing our human connection with what we do.
