Ameera
Co-Director, Israel/Palestine

Ameera was born in Jenin, Palestine, during the first Intifada and grew up in the shadow of the second Intifada. Having never known peace, she joined Tomorrow’s Women in 2005 and, as a Senior Young Leader, was able to share her pain and life story while learning about neighbors she had never met. Ameera continued to practice her communication and listening skills through alumni workshops and became a facilitator-in-training in 2018. She is also a certified Compassionate Listening Facilitator. She is inspired to work for peace, freedom, and human rights, which she believes cannot be achieved with violence or hate. “As women, we can make the change. I will continue this work until peace is realized or until the day that I die.” Ameera is the mother of three children and is committed to raising them to accept and respect others, no matter their religion or culture.
