hear from world-renowned activist hala al-karib

This year, we are honoured to welcome Hala Al-Karib, a prominent Sudanese pro-democracy and feminist activist, as our guest speaker.

Hala has dedicated more than 20 years of her life to the empowerment of women and girls, with a focus on those in conflict and post-conflict areas.

She is recognized as an expert in Human Rights and Women’s Studies, with multiple research initiatives and prominent publications to her name. Her thought leadership is regularly sought after by international media, including CNN, Newsweek Magazine and Al Jazeera. This year, CNN named Hala as one of the world’s top Defenders of Gender Equality. In 2023, the UN Security Council invited Hala to address the Assembly in the debate on Women, Peace and Security.

Based in Kampala, Uganda, Hala is currently the Regional Director of the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA), which plays a vital role in promoting women’s and girls’ rights and empowerment. SIHA is an important partner of Crossroads.
