Israa Abu meteir

70 km back and forth is how much it takes me to get to my university every day. My house lies on the southernmost, on the Palestinian-Egyptian boarders. Even though this is a daily struggle, it had its influence on my life. After I graduated high school with an average of 96.9%, I was privileged to get a full scholarship from Reach Education Fund. This scholarship allowed me to achieve my dream in studying Human Rights in English language, by which I hope to benefit my society and country. The field that attacks me the most is Women Rights. I have always been concerned with causes of battered, abused women and those who are constantly subjected to violence by their fathers or husbands. I often hear about women who were deprived from their simplest rights, such as education. Therefore, I promised to devote myself and my education for the sake of supporting those in need and deprived.

My family and I witnessed painful times before, during, and after the last Israeli war on Gaza. That war was ill-fated; a nearby house was bombed, and, therefore, our house was severely affected, as well. I was on the edge of losing my family and even myself! Surviving that war meant one major thing to me: I am now stronger, and nothing is going to hinder my journey of becoming a great lawyer. I have a perfect family that supports me with every step I take, and I also belong to this great family of Reach Education Fund.
