My soul

 Helping others through social work is one of my deepest goals and passions. From a young age, I have felt called to advocate for people whose voices are often overlooked. Living with cerebral palsy has shaped this commitment by teaching me the power of independent self‑advocacy—communicating one’s needs, ideas, and values respectfully and confidently to the world. Through my experiences, I have learned that while physical limitations may exist, the strength of one’s voice can create meaningful change. I first realized I wanted to become a social worker at the age of fifteen, when I mediated a family conflict between my aunt and uncle that had escalated into a two‑hour argument. Although I could not physically intervene, I used my voice to help each of them feel heard and to understand the other’s perspective. That experience was transformative. I understood that I would never be someone who stands idly by when others are in distress. It also taught me that advocating for myself em...

Refuge and education

  Subject: Article Submission on Refugee Education Hi Fauzia and Narjice, Thank you for publishing my previous article on inequality in education. I appreciate your support and would like to submit another piece focused specifically on the educational challenges faced by refugees. **Bridging the Gap: Education for Refugees** As the world grapples with the effects of conflict and displacement, education for refugees has emerged as a pressing need.

In many cases, they are forced to leave behind their education, friends, and familiar surroundings. When they arrive in host countries, they face numerous challenges:...

 ICNA Council for Social Justice Team, My name is Sarah Elgohary, and I am a passionate writer and dedicated advocate for social justice. My work focuses on pressing humanitarian issues, including the ongoing crises in Palestine, Syria, and Sudan, as well as the challenges faced by refugees, people with disabilities, and other marginalized communities. I was deeply inspired by your organization’s mission and the powerful message behind “Advocacy and Justice for All.” Your work—particularly your article “Let Gaza Live”—resonated with me profoundly. I firmly believe that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and that all people deserve dignity, equality, and the opportunity to have their voices heard. As someone who lives with cerebral palsy, I understand firsthand the importance of representation and advocacy. My disability has shaped my perspective with empathy, resilience, and determination, motivating me to speak up for those whose voices are too often overlooked....
