Yara Amayra: Co-Director of Land for All
Yara Amayra, a Palestinian activist from Hebron in the West Bank, has worked with Women Wage Peace, New Story Leadership, and now as the Palestinian Co- Director of Land for All.
We’re back with our one-on-one series, Ground Report, where we sit down with an activist to have a conversation about who they are, what motivates them, and what kind of future they imagine for the region. This week’s guest is Yara Amayra. Yara is a Palestinian activist from the south of Hebron in the West Bank. She has worked with Women Wage Peace, New Story Leadership, and now works as the Palestinian Co- Director of Land for All. This work requires immense amounts of hope and optimism, and it requires the ability to imagine a better future for this place. That’s not always easy. In fact, most of the time it’s really hard and takes an emotional toll on the people who live and work here. In this episode, we get into just how hard that can be.
