we are not numbers

emerging writers from Palestine tell their stories and advocate for their human rights

Layal Hazboun

    Layal Hazboun is the name. I am a Jerusalemite with a degree in journalism/political science and a minor in translation from Birzeit University. Since graduation, I have been very passionate about writing. I worked as a journalist and translator both in 2018 and in 2020 for a few months, where I was responsible for writing articles, news briefs and stories, in addition to translating articles from English to Arabic and vice versa. I also own a personal blog.

    Today, I am an avid reader interested mainly in novels, psychology and philosophy. I am also learning Italian since I am very passionate about languages, and I am striving to master five languages fluently. I am also a lover of crime documentaries.

    My dream is to reach and influence as many people as possible through the power of words, and to get a master’s degree in translation in the near future.

     

    my work

    Palestinians are terrified, desperate, and full of heartache, whether in Jerusalem, the West Bank, or Gaza.
