Manar al-Sharif

Manar al-Sharif (born 1997/1998, Damascus)[1] is a Palestinian Syrian journalist and peace activist.[2]

Early life and education

Al-Sharif was born and raised in a devout Muslim family in Damascus, Syria,[3][4] although her father was from Gaza.[5] She and her family moved to Cairo, Egypt in 2013, due to the Syrian civil war.[5][6] Al-Sharif wanted to attend college, but her conservative religious parents were reluctant to allow her to.[5][6] They eventually gave permission for al-Sharif to study at the Islamic University of Gaza.[5][6] Al-Sharif traveled to Gaza in 2017 to study journalism at the university, but she dropped out after a few months,[5] citing the “Hamas propaganda” at the school, saying "It wasn’t professional and it wasn’t journalism".[6][4]

Career

Al-Sharif, who had been teaching herself English for years, first began writing for American, Australian, and Israeli publications.[5][6] She published under a pseudonym when writing for the Israeli publications, out of fear of retribution.[6] She primarily wrote about life in the Gaza strip, particularly the struggles faced by women and children.[5][6]

In 2018,[4] Al-Sharif also became involved with the Gaza Youth Committee, and later became part of its leadership.[6]

In 2019, Al-Sharif, with the Gaza Youth Committee, organized two bicycle races to bring attention to the struggles of the Gazan population, and as a way to provide safe recreation to Gazan youth.[3][7]

Also in 2019, al-Sharif spent two nights in jail after being arrested for holding an event at her home with both men and women as guests.[4][6]

In April 2020, al-Sharif was arrested after advertising a Zoom event called "Skype with your enemy" that included Israeli speakers; several of the event planners were also arrested.[6][8][9] She went on to spend three months in a women's prison.[6] She spent some of this time in solitary confinement, and went on a two-week hunger strike to protest the prison conditions.[6] She was released on bail in June 2020.[9] After her release, she returned to Cairo in October before moving to the UAE.[5][8]

Personal life

In 2021, al-Sharif was accepted to a Canadian university.[6] As of 2023, she was living in the United Arab Emirates still navigating the complex diplomatic channels that will allow her to attend university in Canada.[5]
