IN SHORT

Researcher, academic, consultant and activist, Dr Alanoud Alsharekh is a specialist in Arab feminist theory and a champion of women’s rights in Kuwait and the GCC. She is thankful for the privilege of doing what she likes and happy to see her campaigns taken up by a new generation of Kuwaiti girls and women. “It makes me smile when young women want to join Abolish or intern with me. That makes it all worth it—all the difficulties, disappointment, and sexism I’ve encountered,” Alanoud says with a smile. “It’s just great to look at these fired up girls who are going to take over the world and know you’ve helped in that.”
