Alaa Murabit – Kapuscinski Development Lectures – what top thinkers think about development

In January 2016 Dr. Alaa Murabit became the youngest appointee of 17 UN Global Sustainable Development Goal Advocates and in March 2016 she was named a UN High-Level Commissioner on Health Employment and Economic Growth. Murabit is an advisor to many international security boards, think tanks and organizations, including the UN Women Global Civil Society Advisory Group and Harvard’s Everywoman Everywhere Coalition. An Ashoka Fellow, Murabit was a Trust Women Hero Award Winner in 2013. At the age only of 21 she founded the Voice of Libyan Women, an organization promoting human rights and gender equality and fighting for full participation of women in conflict resolution and peace processes. Embracing window of opportunity after revolution in 2011, Voice of Libyan Women was able to launch the largest ever campaign in Libya, the Noor campaign. The campaign heavily challenged misinterpretation of the role of women in religion and pushed for change how women are viewed in faith. Based on communities it brought together over 600 local leaders. This approach was replicated in more than 24 countries since then.
