Hello everyone
The episode #7 of the Inspiring Open Podcast is out. This time, we
feature Esra'a El Shafei
When Esra’a El Shafei was a teenager, she saw a migrant being
mistreated. The moment was a shift for her, and she felt compelled
to do something to help change the plight of migrants in the gulf.
Esra’a has spent her life building platforms for digital advocacy
that amplify under-reported and marginalised voices in the Middle
East and North Africa. Her work includes Mideast Tunes, a web and
mobile application for independent musicians in the MENA region who
use music as a tool for social justice advocacy, Ahwaa.org, a
discussion tool for Arab LGBTQ+ youth which leverages game mechanics
to protect and engage its community, and Migrant-Rights.org, the
primary resource on the plight of migrant workers in the Gulf
region. Esra’a has shown sheer bravery and resilience when it comes
to promoting human rights and we are honoured to have her as a guest
on Inspiring Open.
