we are not numbers

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

Zainab Wael Basheer

    I am Zainab Basheer,18, a first-year translation student at the Islamic University of Gaza, a full-time dreamer and a passionate reader. Movies, music, and books are my loyal friends all the time. I have always wanted our voice to be heard by the entire world; that’s why I will try my hardest to make sure that all of our stories will be narrated. I am also interested in gender equality and I hope that women will be treated with justice and will be taking their full rights and feel safe and powerful.

    Gaza is different than most other places, so its beauty is different.
