15 July 2019 | Lubna Alkanawati

As a Syrian activist, seeing this photo of Ala'a reminded me of the brave girls and women who also called for change0 in streets, in parks, and on top of cars, too- at the beginning of the Syrian revolutions (and war) in 2011. Despite the miles and years that separate our movements, I felt more connected than ever to my sisters in Sudan.
