Lana Ghneim, 23, is a member of the HeForShe campaign in Jordan, a solidarity movement for the advancement of gender equality led by UN Women. She has recently graduated as a Pharmacist from the Al-Zaytonah University in Amman, Jordan. Ghneim is a youth activist, a global citizen, born and raised in 6+ countries, she loves spending her time in learning, volunteering talking to other people and she wants to leave a positive footprint anywhere she go.
According to Lana Ghneim, you can become part of Generation Equality if you do three things which are: teach gender equality from a young age, engage men and boys in the fight for women's rights, and know your rights, and don't be afraid to stand up for them. Lana Ghneim is an influential person because of what she experienced and witnessed. She opened the door for all genders to learn that everyone can do things that everyone can do. She became the voice of mistreated people around the world especially in her place at Jordan. Lana Ghneim said, "men have seen women as objects and believed they have the power to control what women do, think, and wear." And we as a team agree that this mentality of ownership must change and that men have to see women as equals and that we have to lift each other up. If a man keeps on downgrading his woman and thinks she is just a mere object to be controlled anytime try to ask him if he can do her work. People like Lana are those type of people that we really need that are eager to help others experience a respectful and happy life and without her, our voice that shouts for gender equality may not be amplified.
“If we don’t push for change now, future generations will face the same challenges.” -Lana Ghneim
