Home is not a place we would necessarily choose. But you know it’s home when you share something important with the others who live there.
Sarah is a 21-year-old Palestinian living in Saida, Lebanon. She's majoring in social work and minoring in sociology at the Lebanese American University. Sarah is passionate about intersectional feminism and the Palestinian cause, and she believes in merging the two to counter the injustices of occupation and displacement. (Don't know what "intersectional feminism" is? Here's the definition: Cultural patterns of oppression are not only interrelated, but are bound together and influenced by the intersectional systems of society. Examples of this include race, gender, class, ability, and ethnicity.) "A world free from occupation, sexism and economic injustice" is what she dreams of, and it's a world where the word "refugee" has no meaning.
